I heard in anime a phrase related to risk, like "all or nothing". It sounded like "icka backa" but I can't find the exact phrase.

Possibly 一か八か jisho.org/search/%E4%B8%80%E3%81%8B%E5%85%AB%E3%81%8B – Mindful May 24 '18 at 20:27
Most likely it's indeed 一か八か (ichi ka bachi ka), meaning roughly "sink or swim", "all or nothing" etc.

1Literally it means '[will it be] one or eight', in reference to a particular gambling game. – Sjiveru May 25 '18 at 13:50
