Jeff Ma or Jeffrey Ma (born 1973) was a member of the MIT Blackjack Team in the mid-1990s.[1] He graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy. He attended MIT where he graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering in 1994. He was the basis for the main character of the book Bringing Down the House (where he was renamed Kevin Lewis) and the film 21 (where he was renamed Ben Campbell). Ma also co-founded PROTRADE (a sports stock market website, that has since been shut down)[2] and does consulting work for professional sports teams including the Portland Trail Blazers and San Francisco 49ers.[3] He cofounded Citizen Sports, a sport-information website and iPhone application based in San Francisco, which was acquired by Yahoo! in May 2010.[4]
His first book, The House Advantage: Playing the Odds to Win Big In Business, was published in July 2010 by Palgrave Macmillan. Ma is a regular speaker at corporate events and conferences where he talks about how to use data and analytics to make better business decisions.[5]
Ma made a cameo in the film, 21 as a blackjack dealer named Jeffrey at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino.[6][7]Jim Sturgess's character, Ben Campbell, refers to Jeffrey as 'my brother from another mother.'
Ma is the CEO and Founder of tenXer, a San Francisco-based startup, with the vision to 'make work better and your work better'. TenXer was sold to Twitter in April 2015.[8]
Ma joined ESPN in November 2014 as their Predictive Analytics Expert. Per this arrangement, he does weekly TV appearances on SportsCenter and contributes as a writer on ESPN.com.
In 2017, Ma started the Bet the Process[9] podcast, a 'sports gambling and analytics podcast,' and began appearing on The Tony Kornheiser Show podcast, picking college and NFL football games.
In November 2018, Ma was appointed Senior Vice President of Product and Analytics at Duetto.[10]
In May 2020, Ma became General Manager for Microsoft Startups, a unit focused on recruiting startups to use Microsoft technologies.[11][12]

Top tier: yellowfin
Second tier: Shearwater, pathfinder, blackjack
Third tier: Champion, ranger, triton
Fourth tier: frontier, nautica star, blue wave, blazer bay
Obviously I left some out and it doesn't mean that I think they are inferior these are just the really popular ones. For instance I also really like the majek and haynie boats but they are almost a breed all alone. Fwiw I have a 22' pathfinder and I really enjoy it. Not a great boat for breaking waves but it handles chop fine. They are all geared for different scenarios.

Blue waves are good boats but I think they are starting to mass produce thek and raise the prices at the same time which can be a disaster.
Pathfinders and Blazer Bays are good riding boats for how much water they draw.
If you have the money a shearwater is a sweet riding boar and they can get in pretty skinny water.
I owned a blackjack and it is the best riding bay boat in chop that I have ever been in. Better than all boats previouslg mentioned and it isn'tt close.
The newer Tritons are good in chop as well. Still not as good as a blackjack but better than all the others.

I think shearwater is fine, but I've heard some people grumbling about problems. I hear the YF is a bad mofo, but haven't been in their bayboat. Everglades I thought were well built until a buddy's livewell fell into the hull. I'm partial to Ranger, but it saved me and my wife's life so there's that. Pathfinder almost blew me up and others also. When they first came out they had an issue with fuel tank and it would leak back into bilge. They've obviously corrected the problem. Not sure if they are making them again, but that Avenger is a beast also. The Majek is bad arse also, can get up on plane in a heavy dew.

A 20k bay boat will catch the same fish as a 80K just saying.

I would definitely put Young Bay boats in the top tier. They are so expense is the reason you don't see them often. But if you can afford it you got a great boat.
