Outside numbers are typically 2, 3, 11, and 12, and they play a crucial role in the game’s betting strategy. Players may place bets on these numbers in hopes of winning during the come-out roll or after a point has been established. While these numbers can provide a lower likelihood of winning compared to point numbers, they can also yield higher payouts for successful bets, particularly when betting on 2 or 12, which are less likely to be rolled.
Outside Numbers Example
For example, if a player places a bet on the 12 as an outside number and the shooter rolls a 12, the player would win a higher payout, typically at odds of 30 to 1, compared to betting on a point number where the payouts are lower.
