ng4 with tempo on the queen, qe2 and then e4! winning for black
Accepting gambits is the way to refute them. The real advantage with being material up is the freedom to sacrifice at the right moment if you are not greedy.

Vienna Gambit: "it's not really a gambit cause it can not be accepted" - gothamchess

depends on what Vienna gambit you're referring to. 1. e4 e5 2. nc3 nc6 3. f4 exf4 is fine for black but 1. e4 e5 2. nc3 nf6 3. f4 exf4 is very different
I play the Vienna gambit whenever I can and it gives me good, comfortable play always when its accepted - and I dont f@kk up. (Much lead in development, fairly solid structure, can win the pawn back, have a nice attack etc.)
nf6 only
What about the Ponziani Countergambit ?

accepting is fine because after e4, the knight can go to d4 which is an ok square. Better is playing d4
Nice

Ponziani Opening, Ponziani Countergambit. Thanks
#2 is quite helpful
There's also this rare one which might never even happen :
What do you think of this gambit?
black could even play 6. d6 instead of qxe5+ because of the pin and just retake the pawn with the pawn too
d6 leads to Bg5 pinning the knight
nbd7 and dxe5 is coming. What's your solution now
Bxf6 Nxf6 Qe3 dxe5 Nf3
