Here's a quick crash course.
Even if you're buying a stock or shorting a stock, how many ways do you have to win?
That's right, in both cases, you've got ONE.
That's ONE, singular way to win.
Buy AAPL...it's gotta go up.
Short AAPL...it's gotta go down.
Now, I've made my living off of trading small caps, buying them and playing momentum.
And that strategy continues to CRUSH it for me today.
I then played my hand at options.
I was buying calls and puts. Again, just ONE way to win with these trades.
In all honesty, it was the most inconsistent strategy I tried.
Don't get me wrong...I had some huge wins.
Unfortunately, I also had some huge losses.
It just didn't cut it.
So then, I got introduced to something that is commonly overlooked.
The idea of selling options never crossed my mind. Simply because it SEEMED complex.
Remember, I'm just a former elementary school teacher. How was I supposed to know how to do this?
Seemed like this was an advanced way to trade that really, I wasn't ready for, nor could I ever learn.
And then I gave it a shot, and HOLY SHNICKIES, was it my "AH-HA!" moment or what.
My first two weeks, 19/19 winning trades.

All because I harnessed the probability of selling options.
For instance. Say someone is buying $260 AAPL calls right now expiring next week. Again, just an example here.
After looking into it, I believe there is NO WAY AAPL goes above $260.
So, I sell those calls to that buyer, or as I like to call them, the "gambler"...
The only way the "gambler" wins is if AAPL is above $260 when the expiration date comes.
The way I win?
AAPL could stay flat at the price now.
AAPL could fall.
AAPL could even go all the way up to $259.99!
But if it doesn't break $260, then I win!
That's the odds I'm playing.
That's how I became the "Wall Street Bookie"...
You want a taste of the other side?
Stop gambling. Start trading.
