@2use, Ideally you need to get in on a position (Back Spread - Long Directional Options and Long Debit Spread), prior to the Implied Volatility go higher. I suggest anywhere between 8-12 days prior to earnings.
This creates a dual edge - Prior to earnings the IV goes higher making your long options climb on Gamma.
Its a video lesson if I have to explain the nuances.

@2use, BUY +1 1/-1/1 CUSTOM SHAK 100 (Weeklys) 7 AUG 20/7 AUG 20/7 AUG 20 52.5/56.5/49.5 CALL/CALL/PUT @3.50 LMT
Thats the spread. Rule is to close at earnings.
In this case If SHAK after earnings trade below 47 - You would make $$, IF it trades above 61 - you would make tiny profit upto 27. At earnings if its between those points your loss would be 200
