Ran across the obituary of Fr. Fahey the card counting priest from Boston. Sounds like he went to school with the original "Beat the Dealer" gang.

It is not that unusual either for honest pastors to be winning at blackjack. An even earlier example would be David Kelley, who took over the WWCG for a time, and an associate of Sister Angelica's, the catholic missionary broadcaster. DK used the ten count back in 1961, according to one sermon given in 1999, while SA has talked about getting her satellite down payment from, "one of the sisters who used to work in the Dorthy Day Foundation going to Reno and Las Vegas..."
I didn't know that the college refered to was so heavily blessed by the tables!
I once met a team of counters called the Maranatha Blackjack team, who had religious affiliations.
Call me not a believer, but several have gone public counting for the lord. And amazingly I find it worth noting that none of them appear to have ever been involved in any sort of scandals. Something about a link between math, logic and morality must be evident!
