Someone turned 80k into like 1.2 million betting on Tesla calls or something and hedged with a Kamala win bet it was like 50k tesla/30k Kamala and they turned it into 1.2 million via Tesla somehow

Is it like

  • bet 1/2 on unlikely thing
  • bet 1/2 on likely thing
  • rely on gains on either side averaging out to at least ++

    Does it at least take a long time, thereby not entirely ruining my analogy?

      It doesn’t ruin the analogy at all because you’d still need to plant apple trees to make an orchard! It’s just that apples aren’t true to seed so apple trees you plant give nasty apples. It’s more of a fun fact about apples lol.
