Bowdler Attack - The Bishop was up for grabs ... !

In this, my latest game on the FIDE online Arena, I had decide whether it was safe enough to capture the Bishop on offer.  In the game, I calculated that I could not take the Bishop, when in actual fact after looking at the chess.com analysis - I could take it!! 

Personally I would like to improve my approach to facing the Bowdler Attack as Black as I have had to face it many times before and I've never really done that well against it?  Eventually, my opponent got his Bishop trapped (although I think this was avoidable).  They also allowed their Rook to be exchanged for my Bishop ... the mating net was obviously coming ...
