Option writers/sellers collecting their small insurance premiums... bragging about their trading prowess... is kind of hilarious.

Option buyers sit in a bar brag about the one time they made 10x on a trade, but need you to pay for their drink. It's kind of hilarious.

You're referring to foolish, amateur, cheap option 'lottery' ticket buyers. -- I'm far from that
The power of relatively quick compounding is far more powerful then one big, rare bomb.

To the OP: spend some time on the cboe site in their educational section and webinars. It's free.
