How to FP
It felt good to make a $25 bet with my FP on Saturday. It was a push. But I felt like I was taking a shot at big money, so the trip has some added validation. Anyone else go baller level with free play?

Depends on the amount of free play but most like not. I would rather have 5 swings instead of 1.

Over time, the return from free play will equal the return on the game(s) you play it on. Betting big or small won't change that. What it does change is the variance. If you get free play frequently, its a personal choice whether to go for the big swing (higher variance) or to bet small for more spins (lower variance = steadier income).
I make most of my AP income online these days and free play is a big part of that. I take the steadier income every time.
