Let It Ride betting strategy?

I'm going to Vegas in two weeks. My favorite game to play is Let It Ride, I've played it on a couple of cruises and won quite a bit. There are a lot of sites that show the optimal playing strategy, like what hands to let it ride on, as well as odds and payout tables. I understand the house edge is about 3.5% with optimal playing strategy. But what I would like to know, is there a betting strategy for Let It Ride? I don't think any of the Blackjack ones would work like increasing bets every time you win or lose a hand, since in Let It Ride you win less than 1 out of 4 hands on average. Does anyone know of any betting strategies for this game that can produce higher payouts? Line when to increase or decrease the bet size?

Obviously, you're not going to decrease the house edge by changing your betting strategy. I think you know that, but I wanted to make it clear before I get 800 thumbs down from people who don't bother to read my entire response, or are intent on pounding it into the ground that you're destined to lose and it doesn't matter what you do.

Anyway, with table games like Let It Ride and others where you're not going to win about half the time, I recommend increasing and decreasing your bets based on benchmarks rather than the results of the immediate previous hand. For example, say you buy into a $10 table and start off betting the minimum. If you get up by say $100, increase your bets to $15 per spot. If you lose about $50 of your profit ($45 or $60, your choice), take your bets back down to $10. If you get up another $150 ($250 total profit), bump your bets up to $20. Again, if you get down about half of that (-$75, or at a total profit of $175) move back to $15 bets.

If you win another $200, you can go one of two ways. If you're feeling lucky, continue to bump up your bets at the same rate (if you haven't picked it up, the pattern is to increase by $5 every time you win $10, and decrease by $5 every time you lose 5 units). If you instead want to lock in some profit before the bets get too high, bank all or most of your profit (set it aside or stick it in your pocket where you can't see it) and start the pattern over. You can go back to your original $10 bets, or start over with $15 bets, moving up and down with the same pattern.

Good luck and have fun.
