"You best believe it" is a type of figurative speech. it's used to emphasize something that's happening.
Examples:
"You best believe she was mad at you for canceling the date."
"You best believe I'm going to be 1st place."
"You best believe it—it's going to be the greatest party!"

“YOU’D BETTER BELIEVE IT” means you agree with the other person. You’re pretty much saying, “Yes. This is true. Take it seriously.” This is an idiomatic expression, and is grammatically correct.
Example:
A: Will Japan win the soccer game today?
B: You better believe it.*
* Fans and team members could say this. :)
“HAD BEST + VERB” means you ought to, should do something. “You’d best . . .” is something used in the Southern US. Some people even say, “You best . . .”, but that is slang. It’s not grammatically correct.
Examples:
You’d best believe she is coming.*
You’d best (You best) go study right now.
* She is really coming and you need to accept the fact or prepare for that. She sounds scary. :)
I hope this helps. Thanks for reaching out. :)
