A straddle consists of at-the-money puts and calls that expire on the same date. Strangles consist of out-of-the-money puts and calls that expire on the same date.

Straddles are lower-risk plays than strangles are. You know the stock is going to change price, and if it changes at all one of your options will go in-the-money and can be exercised. (If you've got a stock that really swings back and forth, and you're watching the straddle carefully, it's possible to cash in on both options by exercising them as they go in-the-money.) With a strangle, there's a gap between the two options where both of them are out-of-the-money and it's possible for both options to expire worthless.

The advantage of straddles: the near certainty that one of the two options will go in-the-money.

The advantage of strangles: out-of-the-money options are A LOT cheaper than at-the-money ones. An at-the-money put will run you between 8 and 10 percent of the stock's value--if you're buying an ATM put on Apple, which is over $300 per share right now, you'll pay over $30 per share in premium.

In the game of Poker, the straddle is a bet made before the cards are dealt, and the raise is a bet when the cards are already dealt.

a straddle is just you sitting on the ground with your legs apart. your legs do not go all the way out to your sides. a middle split is your legs going completely opposite of each other.

What is a cheerleading strattle?

First of all, it is straddle. A straddle is one of the three splits that cheerleaders do. These splits are also used in gymnastics, ballet, and more. Straddle- The split you are in when you are facing forward with both legs spread out at your side. To get into this split, if you don't understand, stand with both legs shoulder width apart and keep sliding outward as far as you can go. Left Split- The split you are in when your left leg is in front. To get into this split, stand facing forward, and put your left leg in front, and your right leg behind you, then slide your legs further out in that direction as far as you can go. Right Split- The split you are in when your right leg is in front. To get into this split, do the same as a left split (directions above) but with your right leg in front, and left behind you. Hope that helps!
