towel’s gambit

When you scratch your balls on a towel after you get out of the shower, and forget which side of the towel you scratched your balls with. Now you have to towel-dry your hair and take your chances.
Time to dry my hair... oh shit, I forget which side of the towel I used to scratch my balls. I guess it’s time to take the towel’s gambit.

Penny's Gambit

Claiming your team has a COVID outbreak in order to avoid playing against a strong opponent.
Penny Hardaway claimed his Memphis Tigers had COVID so they wouldn't have to face Rick Barnes and the Tennessee Volunteers. He used the old Penny's Gambit. It's a bold move, but at least avoids the loss and he can still claim that his team was superior even though they contracted COVID and Tennessee didn't.
