It's known as Past Posting or Late betting. The idea is that you add an additional chip (or chips) to a bet after the ball has dropped and the bet is won. It takes Magician-level slight of hand skills to do it effectively. Famous casino cheat Richard Marcus evolved it into a team play, using a bettor, (often a pretty, buxom girl,) a distracter, (a person at or near the table to make a fuss, spill a drink etc.) and a placer, ( the slight of hand guy, who places additional chips not on his own bet but on the pretty girl's.) Since a single number bet pays 35 to 1, if you drop one or two $100 dollar chips in a night you have a very lucrative cheat going on.
