Public accounts of the Church Team come largely from Blackjack Apprenticeship and the Holy Rollers documentary sold by that organization. Their team size, capitalization and winnings should be described as self-reported claims, not independently audited totals.
What the first-party sources say
The official Holy Rollers product page says the documentary follows a blackjack card-counting team started and managed by Ben and Colin. It describes the group as arguably the largest and best-funded team in America and says it took millions from casinos.
Blackjack Apprenticeship’s membership page says its founder ran teams responsible for winning more than $4 million. That is a current marketing statement by the organization itself; this page has not located an independent audit of the figure.
For a general explanation, see blackjack teams.
Do not turn recollections into audited facts
Origin dialogue, an $11,000 bankroll, later $500,000 capitalization, $2 million or $4 million totals and player counts may appear in interviews, films or promotional material. Each number must be attributed to the speaker or source and dated; similar figures should not be merged into one definitive history.
Books and training references
Titles such as Professional Blackjack and Basic Blackjack should remain distinct works, with spaces and punctuation preserved. A book’s influence on a team member is not proof of the team’s financial results.
Current commercial offerings
As checked on 24 August 2026, Blackjack Apprenticeship’s site lists membership tools including Casino411 and also lists private training and Bootcamp. Features, prices and access tiers can change, so readers should verify the current site rather than treating this page as a permanent product catalogue.
How to read the story responsibly
- Separate documentary narrative from independent evidence.
- Attribute every bankroll and profit figure.
- Do not treat a team story as a promise of personal results.
- Account for variance, expenses, mistakes and risk of loss.
