I believe that most players see free bets as a great chance for slightly riskier bets and, as you say, crazy odds. High risk without real risk for player funds.
Yeah that's what we do when we have a free bet... we'll take the higher risk odds to get a good chance, because it's free money so we don't have to think about losing, because it's not my own real money.
However, in my opinion, this is completely normal behavior.

The freebets are very small in terms of amount, ranging from a few dollars to a maximum of $25–50. If you place these bets on safe games, you will receive a relatively small amount that is hardly worth withdrawing. If, on the other hand, you bet the amount on very high odds, you can quickly end up with a profit of a hundred dollars or more, which of course sounds much more tempting.

However, I think it is clear to all players that the probability of such a win is probably similar to the probability of a (low) lottery win.
