The idiomatic meaning of 'bet in the hole of a donut' is a bet that does not carry weight or is not plausible. Because the hole of the donut is basically a non-existent thing, the bet is also worthless.
The expression "I'll bet you a dollar to a donut" suggests a wager where the dollar is a significant amount compared to the donut, which is seen as a minor or trivial item. Its origins are somewhat unclear, but it likely emerged in the late 19th or early 20th century, reflecting the idea that the certainty of winning the bet is as high as the value disparity between the two items. The phrase emphasizes confidence in one's prediction or assertion, indicating that the speaker believes the outcome is overwhelmingly likely.
That's a lyric in the song "Tomorrow" from the Broadway musical Annie. The bottom dollar is the last of one's money. If one were to bet it, it should be on a sure thing. Since the wager is on the sun coming out tomorrow, it's a pretty good bet.
my understanding is that a stripper had silver dollar covering her nipples and the no no, the bottom dollar.
Assuming you lose up to 10 times.
You bet your bottom dollar it is!

No. If you gave somebody 2 dollars, they would decide not to give you the 3 dollars in return. They would lose the 1 dollar on the bet, but you just gave them 2 dollars, so they are still a dollar ahead (an you are out a dollar). NOTE: Even if they decided to give you the 3 dollars, it would be a wash. You give them 2, they give you 3. They win the 1 dollar bet, so you now give them a 3rd dollar, and you are both back where you started.
I would bet my bottom dollar on it...
