    I think a good equivalent would be the American phrase "You can bet your bottom dollar," literally your last earthly money. [First cited in the La Crosse Independent Republican, September 1856: "I'm goin' to vote for you [James Polk] - you can bet your bottom dollar on that!"] (Although personally I think the Russian version is way cooler.) =)
