That's not a Gambit. You have to lose the knight or the Bishop.

That isn't a gambit.  You just fell into a trap with Bc5.  White now has a moderate advantage

It's not really a gambit, you get your material back immediately. It's known as the fork trick. Boring304 wrote an article about it: http://www.chess.com/article/view/center-fork-trick

Nope, Bxf2 gives away the bishop pair and opens the f file for white.  White can effectively castle by hand
