Fundamentals of Let it Ride Basic Strategy

Let it Ride poker is a popular card game at both online casinos and land based casinos. 

Going by the numbers, Let it Ride is a negative expectation casino game. (3.5% Casino Advantage)  It cannot be played with any statistical strategy that will help to drastically lower the House Edge; However, it can be played with a general strategy suited to the rules of the games.  If it is not, a casino player can lose their bankroll in no time at all. 

A simple game to play, Let it Ride basically requires players to make four fundamental decisions:

1) How much to wager on the three betting circles
2) If one should place the $1 bonus bet or not
3) Letting the first bet 'ride" or not
4) Letting the second bet ride or not. 

Just from the get go, the first two questions should always be answered in the same way. 

As for how much should be wagered, always bet the minimum.  At most casinos this is $5, although online casinos are more likely to offer lower amounts.  Since Let it Ride is a negative expectation game, the less you risk, the longer you will hold out.  Also, you will not have to deal with aggregate payout limits. 

As for the $1 Bonus bet...don't ever make it.  The payout percentage on this bet is from 25 to 35%.
