What type of Gambit is best in your opinion?

Could you write down some Gambits which are good for winning in your opinion, Also write the first 4-5 moves please.
The Stafford Gambit, never fails to amaze! :

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Nxe5 Nc6 4. Nxc6 dxc6

@Zymorx Stafford is trash,with even above average play white can get to middlegame with a pawn lead and white will have good pawn structure compared to black...the d×c6 move is nothing but an instant bummer for black...
@aaryanverma12 understanding opening principles is best way to play any gambit or any opening....but anyways in my opinion kings gambit and evans gambit are best....
Move sequence of kings gambit..
1.e4 e5 2.)f4 e×f4 3.) Nf3 Nf6 4.)d3...there are lots of variations and theory involved in this opening...
There is no answer for What type of Gambit is best in your opinion?
most titled players try to study their opponent before the game begins
Their style of playing etc.. affects when choosing an opening

I don't recommend the Stafford Gambit for OTB or Rapid/Classical games. The result would be just black getting spanked thoroughly. But, got to admit the fact that after d3, white could get into trouble after playing normal-looking moves, which is why people play the Stafford, with the sole intention of winning. That's exactly what the op was wanting for. Your overall point is right though, if white plays the following series of moves with immense precision, black is just a pawn down for no real compensation.
for me its the legendry queen's gambit...and btw this should be in general chess discussion!
