In roulette, bets placed outside the numbers layout.

In the context of roulette, "outside bets" refer to wagers placed on the outer sections of the roulette table layout, as opposed to "inside bets," which are placed on specific numbers or small groups of numbers within the inner section. Outside bets generally cover larger groups of numbers and offer better odds of winning, but they typically pay out at lower rates compared to inside bets.

Common types of outside bets include:

1. Red or Black: Betting on whether the ball will land on a red or black number.
2. Odd or Even: Betting on whether the winning number will be odd or even.
3. High or Low: Betting on whether the winning number will be in the range of 1-18 (low) or 19-36 (high).
4. Dozens: Betting on one of three groups of twelve numbers (1-12, 13-24, or 25-36).
5. Columns: Betting on one of the three vertical columns of numbers on the table layout.

Outside bets provide a higher probability of winning compared to inside bets, but the payouts are usually lower, making them a popular choice for players who prefer a more conservative approach to betting.
