> My best move was buying 20 OTM tsla calls 3 minutes before they announced the split.

Options adjust accordingly when a split occurs, so why is it relevant that you bought 3 minutes before?

Tesla has had two splits so far and there wasn't much movement during either.

I did not lose any value to theta decay. When the split announced the stock popped, my calls moved in the money. I got the maximum value for my calls with the least amount of risk. Obviously no one knew when the split was going to happen.
