While Delta represents the consensus of the marketplace as to the theoretical price movement of the option relative to the underlying security there is no guarantee that either of these forecasts will be correct.

While Gamma represents the consensus of the marketplace as to the theoretical rate of change of Delta relative to the underlying security there is no guarantee that this forecast will be correct.
