Holy Rollers: The Card Counting Christians Who Beat Blackjack

On this episode of Our American Stories, one of the most successful blackjack teams in America was built around an unlikely bond: church friendships and trust. Colin Jones, founder of BlackjackApprenticeship.com, and David Drury, dubbed “the most notorious card counter in America,” tell how they learned to count cards, pooled bankrolls, and turned blackjack into a math-driven edge rather than pure gambling. They describe the discipline, long swings, disguises, and casino backoffs that come with winning, plus why honesty mattered when players were carrying huge amounts of cash. It is a strange double life, from church on Sunday to high-limit tables the next day.
