Some suspect gambits are okay in blitz but fall down on longer formats. I think the England is one and the Latvian another. also not greatly fond of the Faulkbear counter gambit.

The Halloween gambit would probably require a very fast game

I think the worst gambit is the Englund Gambit as well, but there is a trap

 

Avatar of keep1teasy

the trap is not taking the pawn lol

Here is one variation of the Englund Trap:
