Insurance at +2.5

[Freightman]

I assume some will have input on this, but I often find myself in situations where my small bankroll and consequently small wagers are eclipsed by larger players at my own table. Is it worth it to try to scavenge their insurance wager in extremely high counts? Playing double deck I have seen double digit true counts where there were hundreds of dollars of insurance availability from other players. I put out $30 for full insurance, sure enough the dealer has it, but I kick myself for letting pass by the substantial edge on all that other money.

Small bettor scavenging large insurance bets is a recipe for trouble.

Agreed. Taking part of a double? Sure, it seems normal enough, I've seen ploppies do it. However, at times even that could look suspicious. On top of that, some small better placing a huge sucker bet out of no where, and worse, winning. It's very uncommon for anyone to even buy another persons insurance. Not worth the attention and the heat that follows.
