My best friend owns Tasty Trivia in Orlando, FL, and I asked him about this.
He makes a certain percentage of bar tabs over a certain amount. If one person were to win over and over at one location or followed him around to multiple locations and won constantly, it would absolutely affect his attendance, which affects the amount of money he makes. He would do two things: he would politely ask the person as an aside to cut back a bit. The second thing he would do is to challenge his FB/Twitter followers to beat this guy, and try to use it as a positive thing.
The bottom line, Hobie, is that the person who runs the trivia night at your bar is a businessman, and not likely raking in the dough. You are playing his game. He can make up whatever rules he wants to protect his ability to make money. He's given you an opportunity to win some cash, and you have. Do the guy a favor and tone it back a bit. Go to another trivia night at a different bar, and win some money there. The guy's not an asshole.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
