Jake Jacobs is a dynamic and multifaceted individual who has chosen to diversify his pursuits, simultaneously dedicating himself to a career as a freelance writer and a professional gambler.
As a child, Jacobs demonstrated a keen interest in the performing arts, specifically acting, which he subsequently went on to study.
Despite his passion for acting, Jacobs did manage to secure a film role, albeit a relatively minor one, as an ill-fated psychic in his brother Richard W. Munchkin's 1987 film, Dance or Die.
After initially pursuing a career in data processing, Jacobs made a significant career shift, venturing into the realm of transportation where he honed his skills as a cabdriver and dispatcher. This experience, although valuable, was soon eclipsed by a life-changing opportunity when he was handpicked by a renowned blackjack team. Following this turning point, Jacobs embarked on a remarkable journey, traveling to diverse destinations worldwide, with his blackjack exploits taking him from the sun-kissed shores of Costa Rica to the mystical landscapes of Kathmandu.
Notable aspects of Jacobs' multifaceted persona extend beyond his high-stakes gambling escapades, as he is also a master backgammon player, having triumphed in the prestigious U.S. and Thai Open championships.
Furthermore, Jacobs has explored the realm of literature, leaving an indelible mark with the publication of two remarkable books: "CAN A FISH TASTE TWICE AS GOOD" and "A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FOUR-POINT".
