Seven's a Bruiser, the Front Line's a Loser ( craps )
Betting that the next roll will be the number of 7 (5&2).
Sevens Rule ( poker ) -In lowball, the rule that states that
you must bet a 7 or better (that is, a no-pair hand topped by
a 7, 6, or 5) after the draw. In some clubs, failing to bet
a 7 costs you the entire pot; in more clubs, it costs you only
the action (betting) after the draw. In such a case, if a player
passes a 7, and then calls with it, if the player who bet has
worse than his hand, that player gets his money back, and the
player who passed the 7 wins what was in the pot before the
draw; if the player who bet has better than his hand, that player
of course wins the whole pot, that is, the bet after the draw
along with the remainder of the pot. The purpose of the rule
is to speed up the game (by preventing players from passing
good hands, and then waiting for the action to get back to them
so they can raise
