The only good gambit is queen's gambit. For that reason you rarely if ever see top grandmasters play gambits. In rapid and blitz it is difficult to defend accurately against a gambit.

I used to play gambits until my opponents learned to defend.

Just because something has been refuted at the grandmaster level, doesn't mean you can't inflict serious damage with it at the U2000 level.

Are you really serious?

The queen’s gambit is not a gambit ironically.

There is tons of theory from both sides.
