In general, I'm against the idea of willingly and openly committing a penalty ever being super advantageous. At best it should make it incredibly hard.
Examples:
* Intentional walk in baseball - not sure how to get around this, though
* Intentional pass interference from DBs when they get beat
* Fouling in basketball at the end of games
* Handball on that guy in soccer who got a red card at the end of the game, but made his team advance in the WC. I almost don't mind this one because the penalty was pretty severe. He had to sit the rest of the tourney, they had to win a man down in extra time, they had to save the PK, etc...
Trying to think of any other examples where you can increase your chances of winning by committing a penalty and get "punished for it". Obviously things like holding in football where it isn't called don't count because you "got away" with it. Holding when you get caught is never to your own advantage (at least I can't think of any cases, since it's always a spot foul).
