I have screwed up a bid before and it never even occurred to me to try to stiff the sub-contractor.

It would be different if I spoke to the sub before sending the bid in and asked them to share the risk as a condition of bidding, or told them that the only way I thought we would win is if everyone low balls so they are welcome to submit their bid to me knowing in advance what the plan is.
That would all be part of the contract between the contractor and the sub-contractor though.
