Sometimes a player is out of money.
Sometimes on double down oportunity a player has run out of money or is short on there double down lets say that a player bet $25 and has $20 left so they want to double for less. A lot of times the player will allow you to put the extra $5 down and if they win you get $10. I have personally done that before.
Another situation on splitting that would be favorable for both you and the ploppy is if he has a pair of 8's vs a dealer 7 if you pay for one hand of the split and he takes the other when he is out of money you are both more likely to win the hand than if he just stands or hits.
As far as taking anothers insurance I have never done that I will only insure my own hand in a positive count and only when playing with 1 deck. I think that others would feel like I'm taking their money if I won and not the houses money. Although this could be a profitable play I feel like it would bring too much heat. I have already been barred from two casinos playing blackjack and I don't need any more attention.
