  • The Christians Who Took Millions From Casinos

    The Christians Who Took Millions From Casinos
    Oct 13 2026
    This is an episode that originally aired in 2013. It has been reedited.

    They were Christians. They counted cards. And they took millions from casinos. Colin Jones co-founded the Church Team — the blackjack team featured in the documentary Holy Rollers — and went on to found BlackjackApprenticeship.com, where he's trained a generation of card counters. In this episode: the disguises (including Hollywood makeup tricks), how the team tested new players, card-counting training and apps, and what life looked like after the documentary.
