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."

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.
