Options are there to hedge positions, not make bets.  Everyone repeats the adage of how big hedge funds don't beat the S&amp;P average.  What they don't say is that when the S&amp;P is -10% one year, they're still up 5%, because they planned for potential loss.

You're literally posting this on a wallstreetbets forum. Tons of people use options to make bets.
