lowball ( synonym found)
Definition of lowball:

(n) : a form of poker in which the lowest-ranking poker hand wins the pot. Usually the ace is the lowest-ranking card, straights and flushes do not count making the best possible hand being A, 2, 3, 4, 5 regardless of suits (in contrast to deuce-to-seven lowball.); a form of cribbage in which the first to score 121 (or 61) is the loser
(v) : to give (a customer) a deceptively low price or cost estimate that one has no intention of honoring or to prepare a cost estimate deliberately and misleadingly low; originally, the position of the ball on an American railroad Ball Signal that indicated Stop. This definition is now used to the same effect when talking about lowballing an action (to hold off until circumstances change)
