Jeff Ma’s New Book

Jeff Ma, the guy who became famous as a White guy in the movie 21, just wrote a new book called The House Advantage: Playing the Odds to Win Big in Business. He was, of course, the inspiration behind the main character in 21 (which I did not see), and so he knows a thing or two about gambling and beating the house. He has an interview above, which I saw on 8Asians.

I was annoyed by Ma’s interview following the movie 21 and how he said that he didn’t care about that large group of MIT students being Whitewashed, but I guess we shouldn’t let politics get in the way. Certainly he’s promoting his Asian American story through his new book, and it sounds like it could be an interesting read for people looking to make decisions in business and life.

    He doesn’t care whether they were whitewashed or not because either way, he’s not profiting.

    You cannot serve two masters, mammon AND principles but each are always mutually exclusive.
