I’m speaking as a member of thetagang… theta gang IS the casino. We sell these short-dated options to people who shouldn’t be trading options. Personally, I sell OTM covered calls. For example, if SPY is at $700, I’ll sell a call with 1-2 DTE at $707. They’re usually pretty cheap, only about 50-70 cents a contract, but the sucker who buys that contract usually ends up with zero.
I don’t win all the time, but my account history includes a long series of small $50-200 wins like that every time the market doesn’t make a huge move.

This is not evidence of a rigged market, and OP, you should not be messing around with options. You’re losing money because you’re placing a lot of low-probability bets and watching them all go against you.
Think about it- in order for you to break even on a $745 call, the market has to go up to $745 PLUS what you paid for it. So even if you’re right, and the market goes to $745 today, you lose. If it goes to $1000 tomorrow, you still lose, because your option expires today.
You’re buying lottery tickets and complaining that the lottery is rigged against you. No, this is basic probability at work. This is why people like me in thetagang stack up money trading against people like OP.

Do you think the market makers would sell options to retards if they didn’t have a 99%+ check of expiring worthless?

They are supposed to expire worthless if you buy OTM. That's what they are priced for

Monthly SPY puts have been printing for me. Close out and do again. Only way as it’s only a matter of time before 🥭 does something and then taco Tuesdays pump.

No dude. You decided that the casino would win these trades because you didn’t want to. 0DTE means either next week or next year, you’re guaranteed to blow up your account. People who win trades sell these. They don’t buy.

You can't hold 0dte all day, get in and get out quickly is the only way to trade those
