It’s an unnecessary bet.  Let’s take example of msft.  The stock moved 4 bucks after Er.   On a regular no drama week, the stock will make a similar move within a weekly time frame

So you play the runup and sell the afternoon of earnings to get the premium.  The premium runup alone can be a ton of $$ made.  I do agree with your above comment as well though, you can make 'normal' week money too.
