Let It Ride
Three bets. Pull two of them back as the dealer reveals two community cards.
Let It Ride is the only casino game where you can pull bets back as you learn more information. You place THREE equal bets ($1 each, say). The dealer gives you 3 cards. You can either pull bet #1 back or "let it ride." Then she reveals one community card. You can pull bet #2 back or let it ride. Then the second community card is revealed. Bet #3 always rides.
You're building a 5-card poker hand with your 3 cards plus the 2 community cards. Pair of 10s or better pays 1:1; up to 1000:1 for royal flush. The strategy is simple: only let bet #1 ride if you already have a paying pair or 3 cards to a straight flush. Only let bet #2 ride if your 4-card hand has at least a paying pair or strong draw potential.
Done right, the house edge is 3.51% — bad players who let everything ride blow that to 8%+.
