Is giving a free draw as bad as giving a cheap one???

[Off5th]

I've been rereading my Theory of Poker by Skalanskly to brush up on my game and there's this paragraph where he mentions that sometimes you have to give your opponents odds to draw just as long as you don't give them a free card. It's hard to get action from a lot of tight players and this is probably a good way for them to pay you off. I see a lot of bad players who still call with bad oodd and get lucky on the river over and over again against good players. Give a decent pot odds and not entirely free against a bad player could prevent you from going broke. Either way he'd call your small or your big raise to see the river card. The difference is that is you raise big and he still calls on the river, assuming that he makes his draw you wouldn't have to feel like your pot commited and put the rest of remaining stack in. I know this topic we'll be highly in debate so feel free to discuss your arguments

ToP assumes limit games, where in big pots opponents almost always have pot odds to call.
In NL thats negated because you can bet what you want. For me, so long as my opponent is making a pot odds mistake by chasing his draw then i dont matter how much that bet is in relation to the pot so long as it is more than his precentage to win it, even just 1% or something daft.
