The Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) is an opening with many refutations. That said, it is still necessary for the opponent to play out the line to a win. After all, it is not likely that White will see one strong move, and then resign...
In the following game, the "refutation" leads to a win in 13 moves - for White.

8.h3 Nxf2
Black sacrifices to break up White's King's shelter - but he overlooks his own King's safety.
9.Rxf2+ Nf6 10.dxc5 Kg8
The monarch ducks out of the Rook's pin on his Knight. Alas, the Knight can not move, anyhow, as it would lead toward Qd5 checkmate.
