You bet on a stock losing value. But i find it moronic since the gains are limited but losses aren’t. If you are right you keep the difference, minus the fee. But if you lose the bet you can get into immense debt

If you try to use leverage for get real gains you can dig yourself a 50k hole in a few days. It’s basically russian roulette for finance bros
