Is he betting on both sides? or just this alone?

People with lots of money to protect can absorb small losses but big losses would be disastrous

Betting on one side subject you to all the risk if you are wrong.

Betting on BOTH sides and you end up losing one and winning one, and come out even (more or less)

so...Having said that, I know Soros has purposely collapsed economies in the past. Anyone know what he is up to with the rest of his money?

RE: Is he betting on both sides? or just this alone?

There is a way of “betting on both sides” using options to maximize gain and minimize loses. It is a, option trading technique called the Iron Condor.

Soros probably uses it.

IDK what Soros is up to but if he is intending to crash the economy, millions of puts would be a great position.
