Isn't the opposite of a short just buying stock/commodities? Maybe buying them on credit if you want to get 1920s with it

futures are a leveraged bet on higher price (buy long) or lower price (sell short) by the 3rd week of a month.

Yes, but you can also be long in futures or options. They can be more profitable but are higher risk. Assuming that you aren't in the room for market shifting events anyway, then the bets are much more certain.
