On Chuzzlewit's point...

I routinely use the same technique as you, but I don't think it results in a decrease of the bid/ask spread. I think the prices simply move to reflect the market conditions of the underlying stock.

I have bought and sold dozens of calls over the past few months, mostly as markets orders. I see a real time quote just as I enter the order, and execution is usually quite fast (2-3 minutes). Sometimes I get the Bid/Ask I saw in the real time quote, sometimes it's a bit more, sometimes it's a bit less. So, are you certain that Chuzzlewit isn't correct, i.e., that the prices simply move to your bid/ask?
