I suspect that one of the reasons that Bill Wall plays the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) is that often his opponents provide a measure of "help" in their defenses that leads to quick wins. We can look at a few examples.
Wall, Bill - Masterz
internet, 2021
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ke6
7.f4 Bd6
Black realizes that moving the Knight would allow the White Queen to move in, so he decides to return one of his two extra pieces for a pawn.
8.Qf5+ Ke7 9.fxe5 Bc5
The Queen's "nudge" dissuades Black from capturing on e5.
10.d4 Bb6
The poor prelate! Is there no rest?
11.Bg5+ Black resigned
Black's King has to back up, surrendering his Queen.
Trying to give up only a piece leads to losing his Queen and more material - and ultimately checkmate. For example: 11...Nf6 12.exf6+ Kf7 13.fxg7+ Kxg7 14.Qe5+ Kg6 15.Bxd8 Rxd8 16.Rf1 Ba5+ 17.Kd1 Rf8 18.Rxf8 Bb4 19.Qf6+ Kh5 20.Rg8 d6 21.Qg5#
