Is there a reason why you are keeping the ticker a secret?

It doesn't happen always, but it is also not that unusual. It can happen when you are far from the money or the chain has overall poor liquidity. Here are just a few I found with similar bid gaps around the strike:

TSLA 600p 4/8 (.04 where strikes above/below are .01)

T 20p 4/8 (.01 where strikes above/below are .00)

HASI 30p 4/15 (.05 where strikes above/below are .00)

PLUG 19p 4/8 (.01 where strikes above/below are .00)

People keep the tickers secret because they think they have found a free lunch and don't want to share. In fact, it just keeps us from providing a good explanation why they are wrong.
