It bears mentioning that this is extremely uncommon situation. I have both RobinHood account and IBKR and I don't see how I could do an unhedged short. As a retail investor, the only way I see to short is via options and there you can only loose 100%. It also bears mentioning that an average result in Vegas is: you loose. Benchmark returns for stock market is S&P 500 which is 8-15% yearly return (over multiple years, depending on how good the economy is during those years). And the chances of doing better are higher than chances of loosing money.
