you only lose money until you sell…

or your option expires…

…and you forget to sell it while it’s in the money

Actually, an option doesn’t need to be in the money to sell it for a profit.
Case in point: back in November, I bought a bunch of put options that would only make money if Microsoft’s stock price fell 20% in the next two weeks. As you can imagine, extremely unlikely for that to happen, so it was a cent per option.
But a couple days later, the market got cold feet about the AI bubble, so volatility skyrocketed. It was still unlikely for Microsoft to fall 20%, but it was now far more likely that it could happen. As such, the price of my options went up to 5/6 cents per option, and I was able to sell them for a profit.

if there was forceranding it’d just be 9 super strong players versus super polarised scum which is easy to think of

the strongest wolf pl would be something like kyubey+magnus, since they have super similar strengths and i think they’d play off each-other well
