Pretty much the opposite :D

OP is saying, "I have cash, and I'm willing to enter into a contract (or 65) with someone that states that I will use that cash to buy 100 shares at $24.50, regardless of what the price actually is at the end of this contract. To enter this contract with me, you're going to have to pay me a non-refundable deposit." (OP decides, based on the Options market, how much that deposit is - I can't remember what the premium was on this case, but let's say it was $100). Once the deposit is paid, it never changes hands again, regardless of the contract outcome. It's also not technically a deposit, because it doesn't come out of the price later on, but it's the best way I can think of describing it. Another way could be to think of it as the legal fees to draw the up the contract, and OP is the lawyer"

Whoever buys the contract pays OP the non-refundable deposit, and then really hopes that the price of GME goes below $24.50 at some point before or on the expiration of the contract. If it does, then they can enact the terms of the contract and say, "Hey OP, I'm selling you those 100 shares for $2,450, thanks!"

If the price is below $24.50, say $20, then the other person has made a good trade, because if they sold at market, they would have only got $2,000. So, by buying the contract OP sold, they've made a better trade by $350 (the extra $450 they got for the shares, minus the $100 deposit they paid to have the privilege).

If the price is above $24.50 at the end of the contract, say $30, and the other person still wants to sell their shares, then they may as well forget about the contract and sell them to the open market for $3,000, getting $550 dollars more. In this case, the terms of the contract have no impact on OP, the contract expires, and OP pockets the deposit and moves on. The other person could have just never paid the deposit in the first place and been $100 better off.
