I agree with Harry. Bob used the "Why do you care?" question to illustrate the important point that the outcome has nothing to do with whether a play was a good bet. I found the tone of the response to be matter-of-fact, and not obnoxious in the least.

"Why do you care?" can be an obnoxious response to a question, in some circumstances. But I see Bob's point being that whether he came away a winner was the last thing someone would find beneficial in his column -- he writes to inform and his column had a particular focus (which wasn't the tournament outcome).
