In other words, as you've already stated, the line that used to separate the handicapping from the wagering is now blurred or even possibly eliminated? And, by extension, back in the bad old days when there was only straight wagering, punters were more skillful than lucky, no?

You've misunderstood me.
I said the line between luck and skill has gotten THINNER...where, once, it was very broad.
And NO...throwing a few dollars on the "right ticket" cannot outway the skill of handicappping the race...mainly because we can never know beforehand which ticket will be the "right ticket".
All I am trying to say is that there are some players walking around with a lot of money in their pockets today...who might not be the "winning players" that they imagine themselves to be. Super-exotics work that way sometimes.
But, as I said...this kind of luck smiles to very few...and even for them, the scenario often has a bad ending.
You can't expect to be lucky for a lifetime...
