VIDEO: Microsoft BI Director Bruno Aziza interviews Jeff Ma, of “Bringing Down the House” fame

Microsoft’s Director of Business Intelligence interviewed the principal behind the primary character in the book, “Bringing Down the House”, the story of the MIT Blackjack team.

The question is:  Why?

Jeffrey Ma won millions—and inspired the Hollywood film 21—when he masterminded a card counting scheme involving his fellow MIT classmates and took on Vegas. Ma has now parlayed his love for analytics, gambling and sports into a career as an analyst, author and speaker. In the latest BITV episode, Bruno Aziza gets Ma to share what blackjack can teach us about predictive analytics and business intelligence. Can you take on the house?
