The word 'marbles' has had many meanings throughout history. Marbles are generally known as the little glass balls that children use to play a game. From the mid 19th century, 'marbles' was also used to mean 'personal effects', 'goods', or more generally 'stuff'. This derived from the French word 'meubles', which means 'furniture'. Therefore, to lose one's marbles means "to lose your stuff," or, idomatically, to lose one's mind.
The idiom, "You lost your marbles," means that you've gone crazy.
Kerplunk ! I love that game. and you try to get as many sticks out without getting marbles and if you do try not to get to much because if you have the most at the end of the game you lose.

The odds are set so that the longer you play, the more probable it is you will lose. Its like betting on a jar with a thousand marbles in it. 600 of the marbles are black and 400 are white. You bet $1 each time a marble is picked and your bet is that a white marble will be picked. If a white marble is picked, you get your $1 back plus an additional $1. As the marbles are being picked, you may be winning at times but ultimately you will lose $200 because there are 200 more black marbles than white marbles. This may seem very simplistic but it is exactly what happens when you play craps.

An idiom is a phrase that makes no sense unless you know the idiomatic definition. Can someone really lose his marbles? Yes, but does it make sense if someone says "He's lost his marbles" when someone says something crazy? No, so this can be either an idiom or an actual phrase. Someone could really misplace their marbles (toys), or they could be mentally unbalanced, in which case the idiom meaning would be used.
