for black there isn't much gambit possibility against 1.e4 e5... that opening really requires alot of book knowledge on main lines like the ruy lopez, phildors defence, scotch game or giucio piano... they all involve fighting for initiative and piece activity is probably the most important aspect of these openings. If you can find a good pawn gambit it will usually be in the middle game... or so I have found.
