Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Let It Ride is a 1989 comedy directed by Joe Pytka (Space Jam) and starring Richard Dreyfuss, David Johanson, Teri Garr, Jennifer Tilly, Allen Garfield, Michelle Phillips, and Robbie Coltrane, based on the novel Good Vibes by Jay Cronley (who also wrote Quick Change, with which this film shares many of its quirks).Jay Trotter (Dreyfuss) is a Miami cab driver who has just been looking for one good day. He sees his chance when Looney (Johanson), a fellow cab driver, records a horse owner tell his friend to bet on Charity in the first race, because it's a sure thing. Trotter sees this as a sign, and despite telling his wife Pam (Garr) he's going to quit gambling, decides to bet $50 he has saved on Charity (who's a longshot). Charity ends up winning, and though Trotter considers going home at various points, he thinks this may just be the day he's due.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

All or Nothing: What do you think "let it ride" means? Trotter bets every race this way, betting everything he has, and usually on the longshot.

Answer Cut: During the finale, Vicki tells God she'll never be a Gold Digger again, and she'll date penniless losers. The next shot, she and Looney exchange romantic glances.
