Basically the more ITM you go the more your investment resembles a stock purchase. You increase the capital needed, and decrease the swings your option takes (both negatively and positively). However, even a deep ITM option is still more risky than stock. I can buy Visa stock today and hold it for 30 years if needed. If I buy deep ITM calls on Visa (say strike of 110 expiring in a year), a 2008 type crash can still wipe out my option's value completely.
