The game of Let 'em Ride is pretty straight forward and there isn’t a great deal of strategy involved. Optimum strategy dictates that you should let the first bet ride if you have a pair of tens or better, or you have three cards to a straight flush or royal flush. Remove the bet if you have none of these. For the second bet you should let it ride if you have a pair of tens or better, a four-card flush, a four-card royal or straight flush, an open-ended straight, or four high cards.

The side bet isn’t exactly the best play you can make either. The house edge on this bet can be as much as 15-30%, compared to the regular 3.5% edge, so limiting how many times you place a side bet will lower your overall losses.
