Strategy for Let it ride

In let it ride your decisions and strategy will affect your chances of winning. It is important to take back bets with your poor hands and let your strong hands ride. In the first round I would let ride any 3 cards of higher value, pairs above 10, 3 matching suits or hands with straight potential. Once the dealer flips his first card I would take back a bet if your hand doesn’t contain a pair higher then 10’s or drawing potential.

Let it ride is one of my favourite casino games to play. The rules are simple and the pace is slow which makes for a nice relaxed gambling experience and of course the potential for high payouts are also their if you hit a big hand.
