1 of those ways is Deuce Deuce.
So you can throw Deuce Deuce ON AVERAGE 1/12 of the time.
1/36 is just a trick played by the casino to maximise its edge.
There are TWO 2's right? Yes count them.

Chance of rolling a 2 on the first die is 1/12.

Now there are 11 [eleven] faces remaining. How many 2's? 1? Chance of a 2? 1/11.

Chance of rolling a 2-2 with 12 faces is 1/(11*12) = 1/132
