Sorry for being blunt, but this does not look very good Greg. I posted some thoughts below--it just seems like, if Black wants to play a gambit, he has other options in the Scandi (e.g., the Blackburne-Kloosterboer Gambit and the Portuguese Gambit--they are both supposed to be unsound, but they will give you better fighting tries, especially the Portugese if your opponent doesn't know what to do). Actually I wouldn't play any of those gambits, as, if you just learn to play the Scandi regularly, you can have a fairly playable game. Personally, I don't like the Scandi, but it has stood the test of time. You can find some repertroires on Chessable, among other places online.

@greg455 fair point that I could have continued the line longer, but there are so many winning continuations for White, the bloodshed had to stop somewhere. Thanks sargentoabel for showing the most destructive.
