It's the same principles as gambit openings, you trade material for quick development or a winning position

"The Greek Gift" is a good one to know

One example might be a piece for two pawns AND an attacking tempo on a vulnerable king.
Or an exchange sac that solves all your positional problems.

it has to be forcing, you have to calculate. unless your very sure like if your going to be exposing his king to the point where he has no chance. based on my experience anyway
