What is your favorite gambit, dubious or otherwise?

@Otienimous Is that where you live? EDIT: Didn't see the rational in the study.

@Mehzinho I don't go into those lines but I do know there are already a lot of videos of the halloween gambit.
@Unkingly Not at all, I have never even visited that place. I was reading about it in a book just when I got hit with an idea of 2...e5. It was the inspiration (I explained its mechanism in the study), so I proposed to name the gambit like that.
Queen's Gambit definitely, thought some might argue its not a true gambit as you can easily win the pawn back

As black I don't really know yet

Korchnoi's Gambit in the French Defense is a fun one for White - you sacrifice a central pawn to end up with active pieces pointed at the Kingside, and outpost on d4, an open c-file, while still keeping a fairly solid position and decent pawn structure.

Definitely a Latvian. Here's nice line
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 f5 3. Nxe5 Qe7 4. Qh5+ g6 5. Nxg6 Qxe4+ 6. Be2 Nf6 7. Qh3 hxg6 8. Qxh8 Qxg2 9. Rf1 Kf7 true gambit
