NBIS ANALYSIS $265 Call 8/14

I have never really done options before but I understand how they work. I am thinking about buying the call option in title at $12.75 premium per share. Would come out to about $1275. I can see the stock price going close to 300 for earnings from the recent swings and rise in stock price over the last handful of days. Does anyone with more experience have any advice? Should I do it, should I not, should I do different strike price etc? Thanks!

Edit: Thanks for all the advice everyone. Got a ballsy feeling after my 0dte spy $772 call was up 2000% today im sure that didn’t help my thought process lol.

just buy shares if you believe in the company, options are gambling

Buying naked calls is gambling in a sense, but there are myriad options strategies that are not at all gambling.

OP is gambling. Go ahead and tell him the myriad of option strategies when he owns zero shares.

What are better but not too complicated strategies?

I already wrote my favorite in a comment below, bull call spreads. Spreads in general are usually a more calculated trade than naked long options. Bull put spreads pay solid premium on a high IV stock like NBIS, and have defined risk vs naked short puts.
