Abort the take-off?

I am really interested to know how frequently take-offs are aborted on passenger jets?

I know there are no precise answers, but could you give me an idea of how many times this would happen in an airline pilot's career? I have never experienced this as a passenger.

What is the normal procedure? Does the captain simply call "ABORT"? And what happens if the captain is NOT the pilot flying? Does he still decide whether to go or abort? PS I'm familiar with V1 rules - no need to explain that.

Thanks so much for your answers.
Chris
