A Short Guts is selling one call option while selling a put option with a higher strike price in the same expiration month.
The Max Loss is uncapped as the market moves in either direction.
The Max Gain is limited to the total premium received for the call and put options.
A short guts has the same profile as a Short Strangle except a guts strategy involves ITM options, whereas a strangle trades OTM options.

By "expensive" I meant that the options have higher prices.

You said GUTS would be more expensive but why do you say that when you are selling? That only makes it more attractive because you get paid more premium.

Depends on the premiums of both strategies. Guts would be more expensive as they are ITM options.
