I'm with you. I think the thing is that a YOLO play has better odds than winning the lotto or playing roulette. Some people make millions playing poker too.

Definitely it does, and it’s not all luck. As I said I’ve done pretty good myself with options with basic trend following techniques I learned as an aspiring algotrader. I believe I would have made money either way but my couple of >1000% gains were luck on top of the trend following.
