I played it a few more tomes and every time my opponents have fallen for it. Here is a particularly funny game:

A fellow chess.com user posted a youtube video about this trap. It was a couple of weeks ago and for some reason, it didn't cross my mind to put it on here, but here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yg_mY8rb5I8

Also here is the link to a new (Slightly more complex) Opening trap that I just made to refute the Nimzowitsch-Larsen attack:

Please leave a comment so that it can become a popular trap! Thank you!
Wow that's a nice trick, bit if Black ignores the pawn then I don't really see any advantage for White

I love this counter trap idea, but as someone who used this annoying gambit a lot as black, I still think the most sound move for white is to simply exchange the knights. If you take the knight, black’s position is immediately and objectively weak, but if you risk the b4 counter trap you give black a chance to equalize after his initial gambit failed.

This trap actually felt dubious at first but now this is some more prep with that trap!

That’s not prep, that’s a 400 playing black.
Interesting stuff, but isn't white playing a Ruy Lopez Bird a whole tempo up after 3...Nd4 4.Nxd4 exd4 5.0-0?
This trap is unnecessary and lets Black equalize, and I like that. Someone playing the B-S is having a laugh so I support meming harder to deal psychological damage.

2 years later, I finally used this gambit that’s been in the back of my head for a while. 
I won the game, even though they didn’t fall for the trap.

Yo what's up guys, it's been awhile since I've visited this forum haha. But I've checked out everything that everyone has posted, and I'm super stoked that so many of you guys were able to use this! Searching to see if anyone has referenced this trap, I looked it up and actually found a blog written on it:
https://jeromegambit.blogspot.com/2022/02/new-refutation-trap-for-blackburne.html
I just thought that was kinda crazy and was super hyped about it even though it was written just about two years ago haha. Anyways, happy games to you all and thank you for showing this some love

So I was playing a game, and my opponent played the notorious Blackburne shilling gambit, but instead of trading knights, I set up a trap that I find almost everyone falls for; 4.b4!
The point is that almost everyone plays Bxb4 which is actually a blunder because:
After this, you may think that your opponent can just trade knights and then just retreat the bishop, but why this trap is so good is because people fail to see is that after they take your knight, and you capture with the queen, you are threatening Qxf7# which is checkmate.
And after they protect f7 you can simply take their bishop.
I've played quite a few games using this trap and not once has someone not taken the pawn. Also, I checked the data base and this move is actually a novelty, so I'm calling it the Flint Lock trap, The reason being that after 4. b4, the developed pieces resemble the shape of a flint lock.
I hope this will be of use to some of you.
Thankyou!
That's L Lawliet type of stuff
And if 8... Nh6 then I have 9.d4 (opening up bishop to attack the knight) and if f4 then 10.Qh5+ with mate if 9... Nf7 (10.Qxf7#). Only other thing I can see stopping 10.Bxh6 is 9... d6
