Buying index options before election day

Buying options today for big gain?

If you are buying ATM options of nifty i,e, 11800CE and 11800PE you will be paying combine premium of more than Rs.400/-(@ Rs. 30000+) so if you want to earn same amout (@ Rs.30000+) nifty will have to move and expire above 12500 or below 10800 in that case you will earn @ Rs.30000+ on investment of Rs. 30000+ .
so if you are expecting such big move on either side till the expiry (23 May) then buying options will be good.

Lost 83k.
Don’t try.
