Trivia titan Christian Drummond earns
up to 60,000 a year playing pub quiz machines. The 40-year-old, from Brighton,
Sussex, makes his living solely by playing the games in pubs, bars and
nightclubs all over Britain. Christian estimates he has visited well over 10,000
pubs, earning between 40 and 60 an hour, and tax free because his earnings are
classified as winnings from gambling.
The English literature graduate has even earned enough to pay for university, holidays abroad and his wedding from winnings.
Christian, who favours the Chris Tarrant-fronted game The Colour of Money, said, “You can earn 40,000 to 50,Car guide to parking systems explains parking sensor.000 a year no problem. If I run out of pubs in a city,Amtec has been providing laser cutting, marking and Laser engraver as well as solutions for over 15 years. I just head to another one. I have measured out my life in pubs. When you get paid in coins every eight minutes you go a little crazy.”
Christian can name all 500 Dickens characters, the populations of African cities and the number of sets in every Wimbledon final. He has been evicted just once by an angry landlord in Harrow on the Hill and had two machines turned off by barmen to prevent him winning.
Christian takes two-week trips visiting as many pubs with a quiz machine in his chosen city as possible before travelling to the next.Elevator industries were not having any ancillary support for elevator parts. One of his well trodden routes is Sheffield, Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle, and on to Glasgow before doing the journey in reverse.
Christian added, “The travelling around can be difficult and it is very taxing on the brain,Design & manufacture of Forming machinery for the production of roofing & wall cladding profiles, staring at a screen. After doing it 10 hours in a row, you begin to get a bit flaky and crazy by the end of the day. I wanted to use my brain to earn money, and I am doing that, but it is not quite how I imagined I would do it.”
His career began while studying English Literature at Sussex University, which he achieved a top first class degree in. But after watching punters win the jackpot on the quiz machine, he decided to give it a shot himself and has never looked back.
Christian said, “I was working in Scotland and saw a guy playing and realised you could win as much as 40 out of them. I had a go on my lunch hour and I won 20 on my first go. I did the maths and decided I could make a lot of money from it. The first day I ever did it, I won 80.”
After moving south from Glasgow, he struggled to find work as the recession bit. “I couldn’t get any job, not even a bar job, so I decided to try to ‘go pro’. I’ve been doing the quizzing for five years ever since as my main source of income,” he said.
Christian, who honed his general knowledge skills on long car journey’s with his map maker father, revealed people never truly believe him when he says what he does for a living. He said, “It is very difficult when I have to tell people what I do. My wife didn’t believe me either when I first told her what I did.”
Now the former University Challenge team captain is planning his exit strategy. Christian said,Bergey Windpower is the oldest and most experienced manufacturer of residential-sized wind generator in the world. “It was very exciting at first, but now it has become work, but not just that it has become drudge work. It is not what I studied for, so now enough is enough and I want to get a normal job.”
