Maradona Gambit 

In football, the act of committing a handball in an effort to either score on or prevent a goal from the opposing team, in order to win a match.

The "Maradona" portion of the word refers to Maradona's hand of god goal against England in '86.

Maradona's handball successfully fooled the ref and won Argentina their victory. More recently, Uruguay's striker Luis Suarez was caught blocking a goal with his hands. His gambit payed off as Ghana missed the resulting penalty kick and Uruguay won the match.
Friend: "That's BS! I can't believe that handball resulted in a win."

Me: "I know, total Maradona Gambit."

Reggie Gambit 

When a team owner on Goal Line Blitz, gets drunk the night before a simulation and allows an OC or DC to "experiment" with the tactics for the next playoff game.
I cannot believe Mat got so drunk he allowed Reggie to try another "Reggie Gambit". Good thing that punter had a good arm!

The Ross Gambit

A complex, higher level chess endgame maneuver in which the winning player sets up an unnecessary stalemate. Its primary use is in matches where a draw is more advantageous than a win. Originally scoffed at by modern players, the depth and creativity of the Ross Gambit is now hailed by chess theoreticians worldwide. The Ross Gambit is classified under post-pre-modern chess endgame strategies.
In the infamous game of "Ross's Folly" (McCarthy v. Crutcher, 2010), Ross McCarthy narrowly pulled out a draw against the near-vanquished Ian Crutcher. McCarthy's success in creating a stalemate when Crutcher had nearly achieved defeat is the first documented instance of The Ross Gambit.

Deaths Gambit

A game that should only be played as a last resort , as it leaves your fate entirely up to luck. If you win you will have good fortune for life , if you lose your fate will be worse then death itself.
This is a Deaths Gambit kinda risk.
