both.
unless you're heavily working with edges [evil!] the above points are linked,
so that you always face a higher risk when bid a large amount to have
a huge effect.
as narrator I try to evaluate the risk to the PC first, the players themselves seem to have more the size of the effect[s] in mind, I think.
BTW, we use considerably more APs as standard bid than suggested by the rules. 8-10 is normal, 15 is risky, the suggested 3 are rarely seen. makes for quicker and funnier actions...
at least, that's the way I think about it. OTOH, I usually don't care too much about number crunching.
