If you make bare plays you mean. I always place some out the money options against myself.I am not talking about most people, I am talking about the professionals. They are not making 1000* their investment per year. A 20% return is considered good.
It is like gambling in that long term your profits are not that great even if you are a professional doing it for a living. Yes, you can score really well short term and people do make money at it but like you just pointed out, to make real money you have to have real money to play with. And a 10% loss on 100K is still 10K and can screw up a long term average pretty seriously.
Good for you if you can do it but most people lose their ass to the professional gamblers ;]
That is what they are for, insurance.
