other ways to put it are:
hedge your bets
split and limit your risks
leave some for insurance

Well, if you have all of your eggs in one basket, and you drop the basket, then you're SOL. If put some of your eggs in one basket and some in another, then your chances of keeping the eggs intacted are better. It's just a phrase that means that you shouldn't rely on just one method or one way of doing something. You could get burned
