Gambit Madness !!!!! Which gambit would you choose in this situation ?

You’re playing an OTB chess tournament, and there’s a twist – it’s compulsory to play a gambit… and guess what? Your opponent is 100% ready to ACCEPT it! Which daring gambit will you unleash on the board, knowing there's no turning back? (not talking about traps, only gambits)

Tennison gambit, Halloween gambit

halloween gambit is a really good and respectable gambit but tennison gambit is mostly a trap and if black doesn't fall for the trap then white's position is just trash

Nonsense. You dont have to play the trap line. Look at Kerres-Faltweber :

his opponent was caught off guard by the opening because there was not much opening theory.

It has some tactical ideas but still if the opponent just doesn't blunder anything then he would get a really comfortable position, whereas it is quite hard to play from white side with an overextended knight (maybe not hard for a 1750 like u)

With Black: the Sacndinavian Defence gambit variation as follows. The worst thing about it (hence the invention of the Icelandic Gambit) is that White has other third moves (but accepting the Gambit means accepting the gambit) and can sensibly decline the second gambit with d4 to reach the Caro-Kann Panov-Botvinnik Attack...

...but against a dedicated gambit-accepter this is good stuff.

And hope that Black doesn't play 7...Nc6 (in place of 7...c6), which renders the 7.Nxf7 trick useless after 7...Qd4-+.
