Question about weekly calls for Options traders

Quick question for the option traders here - I was looking at the overnight move in Netflix and was curious as to what would have happened if I bought lets say $5k worth of weekly calls and puts at the same time yesterday prior to the announcement. Technically, I would have lost 90% of the puts but made well over 2,000% on the calls. Wouldn't this be a sensible trade during earnings?

I'm not all that experienced, but I would say that most times that strategy will not work. Usually the market makers inflate the cost of options going into earnings and then once earnings are out the implied volatility drops and the options lose a lot of their value. So if the stock doesn't move very far on earnings you will lose. Now with NFLX we got a huge move and the trade worked as you say, but if the market makers had expected a move that big, they would have made the prices much higher for those options to prevent you from making any money, but I guess this time even they were caught by surprise. Just my 2 cents...
