You're right: it does sound dumb!
Well you see, many good gambits have less than two pawns evaluation such as Marshall, Evans, Dubov Gambit, KG, Danish, Morra. I'm barely getting started here
Interesting gambit tho, I can see this being decent for speed chess.
"what gambit worth its salt has an evaluation that is less than two pawns of material behind?"

This line is garbage. And as for the comment that the Danish gambit was "good"?! All Black needs to know is 3...Qe7!
i feel like 3.Ne2 or even 3.a3 could be an improved version of this gambit, as both moves are more useful than c4
Funny gambit. but I advice playing it in bullet games, and under like 2000 rating, otherwise it's too risky (also, not on otb tournaments). However, it cannot be worse than Halloween Gambit...

You are almost on the right track - you try these kind of tricks either in bullet against strong players OR in rapid against medium players.
This is because 2100+ instinctively play Bb4 in bullet, while players 1900- may need a few seconds to find out Bb4 indeed attacks d5 often enough.
Statistics should confirm this.
Super dumb opening guys don’t play it...
