In the Omaha Gambit, black does not develop his dark squared bishop and white tries to take advantage of it and expands on the kingside by moving his f pawn into the attack. Though it may seem that white seems to be dangerously expanding with the f pawn, the absence of bishop on the forward position helps white in implementing this idea.

The turning point of the game where white starts to slowly misplay his position.

White’s pawns are weak and after the rook exchange slowly looses both pawns on the queen side.

And white resigned as black captures the remaining last pawn by still holding on to the two pawns where white may have to sacrifice the bishop for a single pawn.
In the Omaha Gambit,white goes for the least non risky line where it is observed that the rule of safety of the king is followed and white might just be able to prevent the immediate onslaught of an attack on his king. So it is a much comfortable and an aggressive approach by white to be played similar to the King's Gambit Opening.
