Risk everything is more like putting all your gold in to a single TCG item and trying to sell it at a profit. I've never been that kind of risk taker, and I got to gold cap fine without it.
The way to fortune in 5.4 is no different then before. Buy cheap, sell for more. You need to know what the pricing on your market is to know what cheap is, and some basic knowledge about what the patch brings to know WHAT you can sell in 5.4, but I see nothing that you would need to risk everything for.
