>"Seven! Craps! Line away! Last come gets some."
>I also remember hearing one about "single the field" when a number in

>Bad dice roll "rhymes" I remember include:
>"Too tall to call!"

>Can anybody else add to the list?

"Winner, Winner. Chicken Dinner." I have no clue why this was so
popular in Las Vegas. Now we say it at home.
