There two are basic strategies to winning at Let it Ride
that you can learn to help minimize the house's edge to its minimum
at about 2.8-3.5%, which is the lowest it can go, you never will
have an edge over the house. Like slot machines, you will lose at
Let it Ride a little more than half the time, but when you win,
you usually win big payouts. The two basic strategies are Three
and Four card.
You mainly need to consider strategically the first four cards
and the first two circles for betting, because if you decide you
are going to pull a bet from the two circles, you can do that with
the first four cards. Also, you can estimate pretty well what the
strength of your hand is and your chances at winning. On occasion,
you will receive a hand known as a "no-brainer', which are
hands that are decision makers, say you have three kings, then you
know that you should let it ride, because that is a winning hand
that could improve into a better hand. And, at other times, you
will receive a hand that has the ability to win, say you have three
cards of a straight flush, then you would let that ride. Then there
are junk hands, with these you should just take back all the bets
you can.
Three card strategy
There are rules that you can use to understand better how to tell
if you should pull or let it ride. Such as, if you get a Pair of
tens or better, you need to play because you are already guaranteed
a payout of 1-1, and that hand could always improve as play goes
on. If you come up with three cards out of a Straight Flush, you
should let it ride also because there are many ways you could win
with this hand; Flush, Straight flush, Straight, or a Pair. The
same is true if you have three cards needed for a Royal Flush. Three
of a Kind is a guaranteed win, so you should let all bets ride.
But with three cards to a flush, this hand isn't very strong compared
to other hands, it does, however, have a good possibility to turn
into a better hand, so you could let the first bet ride and see
what develops. If you get a hand with all face cards or with mostly
face cards, you have a good chance of getting a high pair, straight,
three of a kind, or two pair, so letting the first bet ride would
be a wise decision.
Four card strategy
Once the first community card is flipped over, you should begin
with the four-card strategy. Now, your possibilities for developing
a better hand is getting limited, so you will have to consider whether
or not it would be prudent to remove your second bet. If your hand
seems to have good potential to win, then you should probably let
your bet ride.
As with the three-card strategy, there are a few rules that you
should follow for the four-card strategy. Most are much the same,
such as the Four of a Kind, Two Pair, Pair of 10s or better, and
Three of a Kind are all sure winners that you should let you bets
Ride on. Four Cards of a Royal Flush may not be a sure bet, but
there are too many possibilities to make other winning hands that
it is reasonable to let your bet ride. The same is true with a possible
straight Flush, Flush, open ended and High Straight.
