I regularly refer in my blog posts to "The Database", which is my collection of Jerome Gambit and related games. It has grown over the years, due to my searching out the games, and also due to receiving many games from Readers.
A peek at The Database today shows:
The regular line of Jerome Gambit play, 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ 38,295 games White scores 52%
The Blackburne Shilling Jerome Gambit 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nd4 4.Bxf7+ 7,763 games White scores 57%
The Abrahams Jerome Gambit 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Bc5 3.Bxf7+ 18,980 games White scores 51%
