I find the Danish gambit very effective, and I do use it a lot. It goes against 1. e4 e5, and goes on like this:

Yes, it does make you down in material, but it is very good. 

Let's see what each move does: 

This gambit is, as you saw, incredible. For the price of 2 pawns you have your bishops on crazy diagonals, and can develope your knights and the queen, then castle; black is far from that. 

To be honest, in my games, I never saw my opponent play this. And that also meant that when I played this gambit my opponents were not prepared. 

Overall, I really do recommend this opening, and you can try using it in your games. I hope this post was helpful, so good luck
