Each seduction punished? It’s not very likely (7,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

outside chance

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'not very likely' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'each seduction punished?' is the wordplay.
'punished?' indicates an anagram.
'each'+'seduction'='eachseduction'
'eachseduction' anagrammed gives 'OUTSIDE CHANCE'.

'it's' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for outside chance that I've seen before include "It might just happen" , "smallest likelihood" , "one at long odds" .)
