"Heavens to Betsy"

"Heavens to Betsy", has prompted this question
What about Betsy caused this expression?
How did she rate this "promised-land" present?
This gift from the Gods so heavenly pleasant

The Gods didn't choose Renee, Helen or Mary
Nor did they choose Jeannie, Ellen or Carey.
Could the roll of the dice of seven elevens
Be what gave Betsy the gift of the heavens?

Seven elevens, not lucky for most
Causes most gamblers to end up as toast
But some way or other, not clear to us mortals
Dice rolling Betsy streaked through those heavenly portals
