Involving more people and players is NOT no risk. It adds risk. Now some kinds of plays you need a certain number of people, like Axelwolf has described in plays where you need to lock down a bank of machines. But most plays that can be done solo, when you expand to more people, you increase a variety of risks.

In some case yes.

Machine play, the free play is often PART of the play. The Fp can be what makes the play +EV.

But take what I do at card counting. The +EV comes from the card counting. So I and most card counters play unrated, refusing any "extra" type free play, which for table games comes in the forum of free bets or match plays. So for me and most table game AP's the answer is yes.
