Since the house builds in advantages with bid ask and pricing, the way to beat them for me has been to sell options instead of buying them. Usually works. Pick options about 1 std deviation out or more. They win most of the time
Or buy them a little further out to get some safety
As for me, I'm addicted to options but I've given up on them. The math that the market makers use is so elegant and perfect that I've decided that I can't really beat them.

That said, if you can beat them doing it your way then by all means haha Good luck
The trick is just being right on your hunches.

yeah. I'm just concerned that we get a couple of years more like 2013 and 2014 with weaker contango and more vxx spikes
