Gambit
<gahm-bit>
ploy; trick; plot;
giving away something to get something better later.
Putting out tuna was a good gambit. She made friends with the cat.
Memory trick:
gambit reminds of gamble.
we gamble someone will fall for our offer.
At work:
The bank gave away free tablets. It was a clever gambit because people opened accounts.
