There's gonna be an element of luck involved in being successful at anything but to say that somebody owes half their success to luck seems to be dismissive of the hard work they put into their chosen profession.
Also, you seem to be suggesting that if you have a good day, your camscore should increase more than it does for the models who had a better day than you. That doesn't seem logical.
Actually, this brings to mind a point I've wanted to make for a while -- it's relevant here, but it also relates to the whole top 20/100 thing too:
You don't have to "beat" a certain number of models to do well. If you think you had a good day, you DID. If you're making an amount of money you're satisfied with, it shouldn't matter what your camscore is or if you're not ranked as high as some other model. The point is, if you're making a good living, you're doing fine. That's the only measurement that really matters (plus if you're happy with what you're doing, of course).
