RD ; I think I got it , You buying the high in the money put,
and writing the lower one , which at the time was just in the
money. Do you buy the same number you write, or do you
balance the dollar amount ?
I'v never done this type of spread, heck I guess it could work
on any option, and I need to look at it more.

Theoretically better than bear call spread, which generates a credit.
I would like to do this, too. Unfortunately, I have a discount broker who doesn't understand and considers the one side naked even though it is cover by the put purchased. Good luck with it, but I think the odds are in your favor if you went far enough out in time.
