Winning hands are paid for all bets riding in the betting circles.
Note: Some Let It Ride tables have a maximum payout of $25,000, so a $15 three-circle bet total for a dealt Royal Flush will net you the table max., while you are entitled to $45,000. Yikes!
To avoid this scenario and practice sound wager management, divide the max. pay by 3000 and use this amount to make your three bets. In our $25,000 example, that would be placing three bets of $8 each or less.
Strategy for this game depends on the player’s ability to collect a paying hand and when to Let It Ride. After viewing your first three cards, decide whether to let your first bet ride or not and after a fourth card, decide whether to let your second bet ride.
If your hand shows no promise by the fourth card, take your second bet back no matter what you did on the first bet. Keep in mind that your first and third bets can stay in play while you make this move.
Your first betting decision with three cards revealed should be determined as follows:
1) Pair of Tens or better
2) Possible Straight of 3-4-5 suited or higher. Possible Straight of A-2-3 or 2-3-4 suited should not be considered for this betting decision.
3) Possible Straight from three suited cards with one or two gaps and/or high card(s). Examples are 9-10-Q and 8-10-Q.
Your second betting decision with four cards revealed should be determined as follows:
1) Pair of Tens or better
2) Possible Flush
3) Four card possible straight that is higher than 7-8-9-10, but not A-K-Q-J unless a possible flush is happening.
