### Comment:
Risk=\= potential for loss. Risk= potential for loss + magnitude of loss.  A 99% chance of losing one dollar with a 1% chance of gaining 500 dollars is not high risk.  
  
 (This is assuming one has more than a dollar to their name which I understand may be unusual for this sub)

### REPLY:
That is definitely high risk.  If you invested equivalent into stock you wouldn't lost 100% invested like you could in your example.  What you're referring to is the most widely used example of why options are risky on this sub Reddit lol.
