I'll bet my boots
разг.
(I'll bet my boots (my bottom dollar или my life) (тж. you bet, you can или may bet your boots, your bottom dollar, your life или your shirt))
держу пари, будьте спокойны, будьте уверены, можете не сомневаться, могу вас заверить; ≈ даю голову на отсечение, как пить дать [первонач. амер.; you can или may bet your shirt первонач. жаргон на бегах]

...I know something happened to you over there, and I'd bet my bottom dollar it was a girl... (D. Carter, ‘Fatherless Sons’, part I, ch. 2) — ...я чувствую, что-то с тобой стряслось за границей, последний доллар прозакладываю, что тут замешана девушка...

When one of the first remarks of a new patient is: ‘Now, I don't want to be any trouble,’ you can bet your shirt they are going to be more trouble than anyone else in the ward. (M. Dickens, ‘One Pair of Feet’, ch. IX) — Когда новый пациент начинает с того, что говорит: "Я не хочу, причинять никакого беспокойства", даю голову на отсечение, что он причинит больше беспокойства, чем любой другой пациент в палате.

‘I'll bet my boots it isn't so.’ It was not an elegant expression for a young lady, but it was very emphatic. (DI) — "Провалиться мне на этом самом месте, если это так". Слова эти звучали грубовато в устах молодой девушки, но были очень выразительны.
