Passe - High bet in French. This is a bet the next winning number belongs to the high numbers which are 9-16.

Past Posting - a dorm of cheating in roulette. The cheater adds more chips to his bet after the result has already been called. Usually done if that cheater's bet had won, and he wants to illegally increase his winnings. Casinos are very aware of this move, so do not attempt past posting, unless you want to land in some jail and be humiliated.

Pinching - another form of cheating in roulette. This is the opposite of past posting. Instead of adding more chips to one's bet after the result has been called, the cheater takes his chips out of the layout. This is done when that player's bet lost, so he takes his chips to prevent losing them.
