Steph Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 All the marbles: winner takes everything! Money, marbles or chalk: I believe this referred to the terms a person might offer for a wager. I think the chalk referred to a gambler's marker. A boxer who would fight for money, marbles or chalk would be willing to take on all comers, no matter what they offered. Money, marbles and chalk: A variation of the preceding, which seems to have a meaning more along the lines of "all the marbles". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
