1) You're fast enough to beat out the throw to First Base
2) You want to move a runner into scoring position
3) You want to avoid a Double Play

1. If you have 0 or 1 outs, and a fast guy on third.
2. 0 or 1 outs, and the batter is fast.
3. 0 or 1 outs, and you want to try to advance a base runner.
4. Or any other time to try to catch the other team by suprise I guess.

1. If you really need to score a run and the players are playing deep.
2. If it is the other team's weakness
3. To move a player in scoring position
4. If the runner is fast and can run bases well to get to 2nd, 3rd, or home base.
Those are good reasons to bunt but whatever you do. NEVER BUNT WITH 2 OUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sacrifice to get the runner on second to third.

When your offense is not producing and you need to get a runner in scoring position.
