I would say:
1.queens gambit
2. Evans gambit
3. Benko gambit

King's gambit is pretty decent on the club level...and definitely decent to play in blitz chess.

Queen's Gambit shouldn't count. Not a real gambit.

But if you're going to count it that's definitely my vote. Queen's Gambit, best gambit ever!

The Smith-Morra Gambit against the Sicilian Defense is also half-way decent.

the worst is morra for me

if the opponent knows to play then he can easily beat u 

in chessbase,if u check the database more than 80 % OF THE GAMES are lost for white

According to extensive computer analysis, the best is Blackmar Diemer Gambit.

Benko Gambit and Blumenfeld Gambit are excellent for black.

Queen's Gambit is the safest.

my favourite gambit is that 3. nc3 king's gambit, it looks like really retarded and weird but like this one engine kept kicking my ass with it, I myself never play it but it looks interesting.

there's also this gambit which is very conditional on what he plays and it's more of a middlegame than an opening

 

this is supposed to be good, however, black doesn't (and in my opinion should not) need to take on d5 and gets a fine position if he ignores the invitation

Duras gambit? Really? Best winning chances for the player that accepts the gambit maybe.

e4 f5 = duras is easily refutable. ill gladly play anyone not using stockfish and accept it.

queens gamit

benko

budapest

The fact or possibility of a gambit having good or the best winning chances does not make it a good gambit or the best gambit.

Budapest is easily refuted.  Queens Gambit is the best of all gambits.

Catalan 4...dxc4 5... a6 6...b5 (tied for first with second)

CAtalan 4...dxc4 5...c6 6...Bb4+ 7...qxd4
