White wins 239 (31%) Draws 76 (10%) Black wins 450 (59%)
The classic bishop sacrifice at f7. I ran a 765 game tournament but am publishing only the white wins here. It seems to be what most people are looking for. I can provide all the games at your request. Suprisingly Rybka was the loser of all the games where White won. Something fishy is going on here. Very unlike Rybka, maybe its book learning was off. Even its score was really bad.
What I have gathered is that in order to win with White in the Jerome Gambit is an extremely active Queen. As I replayed a bunch of these games the Queen was jumping all over the board in the late beginning , early middlegame. I have recently started experimenting with sacs at f7 and f3, so I found a bunch of these games very enjoyable.

Nobody expects the Jerome Gambit!
When you've got a few minutes, why not stop by http://jeromegambit.blogspot.com ?
I'd love to see the entire game set of computer vs computer Jerome Gambit games -- not just the ones where White wins.
Thanks for your investigations into Alonzo Wheeler Jerome's creation.
