I'm not going to complain about getting half a house, or "losing" this bet and getting 2-3x that amount. Though I might be a little miffed about a VW-style short squeeze
Psychological studies have shown that humans tend to minimize negative events that have a low likelihood of happening while over-emphasizing positive events with a similar low chance of occurring. No wonder the market makers do such brisk business with these types of options and are the prime beneficiaries in the end. Because the odds are stacked against both sides.
