I know i had to bet and I received 3 cards. Thats about all I know about the game. I wish I could learn how to play it because it looks like a lot of fun for me to play.

If you like to low-roll but yet have a chance to win big (with the bonus side bet), Let it Ride is the best game you can play.
When all is said and done, let it ride is played out similar to 5 card stud poker. You use your 2 cards and combine them with the dealer's 3 cards to make the best 5 card hand.
What makes it nice is that even though you place 3 bets in the beginning, if you don't like your hand after the deal, you can pull one of these bets back, and then pull the 2nd bet back if the first card the dealer turns over doesn't help your hand.
The strategy is somewhat similar to Texas Hold'Em, if you think about it. You will only get paid on hands of Tens or higher, so if you're dealt a pair of 10s or higher, don't pull any bets back....basically, "Let it ride."
I won't go into any more detailed strategy, because the link above to the wizard's site will definitely steer you in a better direction than I ever could.
