I think it would be more prudent to just buy the puts. You can't lose more than you bet. Your "synthetic" short encourages leverage by an additional multiple of 10 with limited profit and unlimited loss potential. Interesting concept, as long as one can resist the temptation to bite off more than he can chew.(or afford to lose)

Live Long & Prosper
