I'm going to call your complicated example the Excedrine Strategy

It's really not that complicated. Find a situation where you can buy a call and sell the next 2 higher strike prices for more than what the first call cost you. This leaves you cash positive with the highest strike hanging out there. I prefer to have it be a covered call, but it could be naked if one were so inclined.
Punch the numbers into an option analyzer program and I think you might be startled by what it spits out in the risk/reward world.
