Man behind ‘21’ movie branching out

Jeff Ma, the guy who led a team of MIT students to fame and fortune by counting cards at some of Vegas’s biggest casinos (the movie 21 is based on him, as is the novel Bringing Down the House) is teaming up with Sports Illustrated to bring a set of feature-rich fantasy sports applications to Facebook.

For instance, planned for release in July, will be real-time stat tracking, live draft capabilities, and all of the others features seen on the most popular fantasy sports sites.

Ma and his team at Citizen Sports are no strangers to the sports market. They created Protrade, a virtual stock market that lets you buy, trade, and sell your favorite athletes.
