call / put theory help

My thought: "Smurfs is gonna make less than 20Mill"
Do I Short the Call or Long the Put?
Should I just do some math (ugh) and figure out, with current prices, what the best gain would probably be?
Is that how Calls and Puts are played? I got in on a thread about shorting and longing these and it just twisted my brain. I think I can handle it now, but I can't find that thread...
Thanks in advance, either way!

Ok, bear with me... accountant_4_Jesus Jul 28, 20:13
Correction, the Call for The Smurfs is for $25M, not $20M. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jul 28, 20:14
A call says the movie will hit the strike price. A put says it won't. LONG the choice you agree with and SHORT the one you disagree with. {nm} PVL Admin Jul 28, 20:45
Unless you think it will only miss or hit its strike price by a minuscule amount, in which case you short both Call & Put. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jul 30, 05:40
The math isn't that hard JohnTEQP Jul 28, 22:04
I'm a little surprised to hear a seasoned player say that 'because it is trading at $60, so it will probably adjust near that' ndmaster Jul 28, 22:26
Yeah, I was pretty spectacularly wrong on this one JohnTEQP Aug 01, 12:17
