estarei arriscando tudo que tenho

Explanation:
Cash in one's chips = die (Australian slang - Babylon)
cash in = lucrar, tirar vantagem de, beneficiar-se de (Ivo Koritowski - Babylon)

Qual é a frase seguinte? acho que a proposta do Antonio Ribeiro parece mais adequada, mas o dicionário de "Australian slang" me deixou em dúvida.......
