When the options were IPO'ed they were at neutral profit (for most 5 options at $5 each, 1 will delist at $25, the rest will delist at $0 so no guaranteed profit at the IPO). I'm not sure the players would appreciate HSK putting in something to make the prices of each option in a category affect each other so that a set of options were never ARB. Having said that, while you may be guaranteed a profit, you won't maximise it - say there were options in a category priced 18, 1, 1, 1 and 1 - if maxed them all you'd make 60,000, but if you'd shorted the ones priced at 1, you'd have made 220,000 if the one priced at 18 did win, but risked making a big loss if it didn't - but that's the point of the game, do you take the safe small profit or go for the riskier big profit?
Is my logic correct here? Feb 16, 00:07
yes, that is guaranteed profit. it's called arbitrage, or ARB {nm} Feb 16, 05:34
