It means that choices are random; made by chance, without cause or reason, i.e. “free will”.

Odd...that sounds like predestination!

As a matter of fact, that is not what everyone means by free will. It is ONE view, one which was popular at the time of the Reformation. A lot of folks on our side think that one of the reasons for the intellectual undergirding to the Reformation was precisely this (in our view) misunderstanding of what freedom of will is.
To me this is a fascinating subject and I am VERY interested that so many on the reform side insist that freedom of will is "indeterministic" (IF, and it's a big if, I'm understanding you.)
