The amount of risk when using options depends on the strategy that you're using. Covered calls are typically considered a conservative strategy, so I wouldn't consider that gambling - hedging is probably a better word. However, the outright buying of calls or puts could be considered gambling.
Yes, Japan does pose a risk for Aflac - but every business has its risks. The high exposure to Japan is probably contributing to Aflac's undervaluation.
