Protip: If it has "gambit" in the name. Don't play it.
Especially the Queen's Gambit :P
Wut the Queens gambit is my love and life.
That one doesn't count cause it's not a real gambit.
Sure. As the emoticon indicates, I was just having some fun with the exact formulation of the tip :)
@Iovlas I disagree (Your like 1.9 times rating but ) what about the Rio gambit lichess.org/study/rGeBVqvn/ZHqbiSnl
As well as QG (Already mentioned here)

And the Real Blumenfeld.
Also there was a Kasparov Gambit.
Benko is sound.

The Berlin isn't a gambit. Reversed blumenfeld isn't a gambit.
QG, Benko and Marshall are perfectly fine. Sure, you can get away with other stuff as well. But whats the point of playing shitty openings when you can get similar, better positions other ways.

@lovlas What do you describe as a bad opening then
The Colorado Gambit is a perfect example of a terrible opening. You are basically strategically lost out of the opening.
