the Opening where you move your horse and the next time you move it back and just keep doing it till you time out.
as a king's gambit player, i WANTED to play the latvian gambit, but if you aren't mating the unexpecting by move 10, you're likely to get yourself into trouble. i have NO IDEA why it's even called a gambit! in studying the theory, most of it is just white chasing black's queen all around the board with development while black's developing NOTHING.
defensive gambit?!

Many beginners like to play the following opening: e4 e5 Nf3 f6 without knowing how bad it is. After playing f6 they fall into a simple (yet powerful) trap and lose the game. If you are a beginner you should take a look at the following game, and learn how NOT to play chess.
What about this line
one opening that is super trash is the king's gambit accepted: tumbleweed variation
by the way its -3.3 for black

i dont think anybody played that before though.
There are lots of named openings that are nonsense, like fried fox defence.
Duras Gambit? But it scores surprisingly well despite being -5 points
the worst opening is f3

This is similar, but much worse. White has clos to a won position.

Barnes Opening: Fools Mate. Then there are other opening lines that lead to forced mate, as mentioned by @TheMKeyHolder.
reti opening is probaly 5 worst onlyat low level so i would say kings or queens pawn

reti can transpose into queens gambit or KIA lines
that only if you want to plus it also goes into the deuthch
Darn, I saw someone playing it. I didn't know to move the knight that way though.
