So I recently made it to Gold V.. I have since lost 4 games in a row... I am afraid to play any more rank with the fear of dropping to Silver 1.. Someone last night told me that I would have to loose like 30 games before I am dropped back to silver.. is this true? Am I safe to keep playing rank? Any tips?

There's quite a few good tips that could probably help you, but why play ranked? Unless you're trying to make it to plat before the season ends (in about a month) there's really no reason to continue playing ranked at all.
My personal suggestion would be to relax a bit and just play normals, at least until the preseason starts up.
It takes a TON of games to fall down to silver from gold. Just make sure you don't lose more than like.. 10 more, if you do I'd just freeze till end of season.
It has to do w/ your mmr. If your mmr is WAY below gold 5 (I think it has to be like down to silver 5, but maybe it's just a division so like being considered a silver 2 player by the game and losing would risk your gold 5 being taken) then you can drop but otherwise no.
You have 2 options basically. Either don't play ranked until after nov 11 so you get your rewards, or use lolking or lolnexus or something to look up the ranks of people you're playing w/ and try to stay at least w/ the large majority of people in your game at a minimum of silver I level. If everyone in your game is silver 2 promos or better I'm pretty sure you can't drop even w/ a losing streak bc you MMR is high enough still but I'm not sure where the cut off is that the game considers you so much worse than gold V that it will drop you out of gold if you're losing.
The only real reason to stick w/ the second option is if you want to see if you can get your games to be mostly gold V and gold IV players and actually hold your own in low gold, or if you're actually closer to silver ELO w/ a really good win streak that bumped you from silver I to gold V before your MMR dropped back to silver.
I would just stop playing ranked until end of season.
