Lots of openings are gambits (e.g. Queen's Gambit, King's Gambit, Evans Gambit, Latvian Gambit). How come? Does giving up a pawn in the beginning of the game in exchange for a tempo or faster development actually help that much?

Being able to identify games that have gambits like that would help us analyze chess games and identify what gambits may or may not be playable. This might be as simple as looking for specific openings/ECO codes, or more involved like looking at evals and material balances in the beginning of the game.
