A covered call is a synthetic naked put. There is no difference comparing to reward.

Ok, let me put it this way. It makes no sense to write a put if you believe the price of the underlying security is going to go down (unless you like giving away money :-). Writing a call in the same situation will net you the premium. Are you saying that there is no difference between a loss and a gain?
