We consider a discrete time financial model where the support of the conditional law of the risky asset is bounded. For convex options we show that the super-replication problem reduces to the replication one in a Cox-Ross-Rubinstein model whose parameters are the law support boundaries. Thus the super-replication price can be of practical use if this support is not to large. We also make the link with the recent literature on multiple-priors models.
