After playing Let It Ride online for a while, I finally got my 1st opp to play in a casino. (Seminole, Coconut Creek, FL) 15 units across. Played tight. No chasing. Unless I had 10's or better to open, I pulled back. Also played 10 units on the 3 Card Bonus. Did not put out the dollar for the other bonus. It appeared to me that the 3 Card Bonus acted as a decent hedge to cover a portion of my losses. Had enough small pairs come up to minimize a 15 unit loss down to a 5 unit loss. Then of course there was the occasional straight thrown in. Bought me a lot of playing time on my initial 200 unit outlay. After about 45 minutes of play I was dealt a 2-3-4 spades. Straight Flush 3 Card payout is 50:1 in that casino. Still pulled back on the 1st bet. But when the dealer turned another spade I Let it Ride for the finish. Hit the 5th spade. :)My question is: Am I right in thinking that the 3 Card Bet is a good hedge for a player playing tight or did I just get lucky?

YUCK!!!
1.) Playing Let it Ride pursuant to Optimal Strategy is not, 'Chasing,' it's playing the game properly. Could you imagine hitting that Royal having pulled back your first and second betting spots, or even on a sequential three to SF? How about pulling the second bet back on four-to-a-flush?
Instead of even worrying about hedging, you should focus on playing the game properly.
Interestingly enough, pulling back the first bet on suited 2-3-4 is actually the proper play.
2.) Keep in mind to look for the Maximum Aggregate Payout, if applicable, it's possible (betting the way you are) that you would not get paid in full on a Royal playing Optimal Strategy. Always keep your bets low enough to ensure full payment pursuant to the Odds, or what I call the, 'Effective House Edge,' is greater.
Actually, if you're playing 45 total units, that'd be a SF to pay 9,000 units, so if the Maximum aggregate is 25K, you're getting hit with a greater effective House Edge on that, as well.
3.) The Three Card bonus bet probably sucks and probably has a higher House Edge than the base game, though there are exceptions. I believe that you know that you experienced Positive Variance, 'Got lucky,' to hit that Three Card Straight Flush which is a 1 in 502.26 shot.
Either way, the bet probably sucks, post both paytables and I would know for sure.

ConclusionIn any case, congratulations on your nice wins, of course, but the way you were playing Let it Ride sucks and you were making a side bet that probably sucks, in general, and compared to the House Edge of the base game. I am glad you won, though, remember to tip your dealers...they don't see it much on Let it Ride!

hi, winkman, and welcome to the forum! As I understand it, a unit is one ante bet; you played for 25 units/hand or at least $125 at $5 minimum your first time live? That's pretty daring! If by units, you mean dollars, that seems more realistic to me at $5/spot and $10 on the pairs plus, but still a good amount of money.
In my opinion, you hit extremely good variance to last long enough on 200 units bankroll when betting 25 per hand, even pulling back 10 every/most hand, to get to the straight flush 45 minutes in. Exceptionally so if you were staying in on small pairs and having them 2pair/trips enough not to lose 'a 15 unit loss down to a 5 unit loss' implies you're letting small pairs ride, trying to improve them. In the long run, this will ruin you (speaking both from experience and with reference to basic strategy on this game). A better play is to win the 10, pull back on the others unless you catch on the 4th card, and net a 5 unit win.
The 3 card bet is not really a hedge bet; it operates completely independently of the spot bets, which is how it can be optional. That said, if the cards are running well for you, a 3 card win more often leads to a 5 card win than a non-3card winner for obvious reasons. The 3 card bet has a house edge of between approx 2 and 7%, depending on which paytable Coconut Creek is using. The most common paytable for Let It Ride has a HE of about 3.5%; they are not related.

1 in 460.416...
What's that number? The three-card SF is 1/0.001991 = 502.26
You're thinking of:
1/0.002172 = 460.416
But that's because you're not considering the Mini-Royal as a separate pay for Three-Card LiR Bonus, you're doing Pairs Plus Math for 3CP.
22100 possible hands/48 straight flushes=1 in 460.416...
