Hello Grace! Yes, it's true that the banker in baccarat has a slight advantage. This is mainly because they get to act last, after seeing the player's decision. Additionally, the banker bet comes with a slightly lower house edge compared to the player bet. These factors contribute to the banker having a small statistical advantage in the long run.

Also, the banker bet's benefit is related to the game's drawing regulations. The banker and player hands in baccarat may be required to draw a third card under certain circumstances, according to the rules. Because they can act last in the drawing sequence and make better decisions, bankers usually have a small advantage.

Yeah I think this is because the rules dictate that if both the player and the banker have the same total points, the banker wins. 
the banker's perceived advantage in Baccarat is attributed to the complex third-card rule, which is partly dependent on the player's third card, giving it a strategic edge and
some players believe in trends and patterns in Baccarat, like "bankers." Although these are not guaranteed results, some argue that recognizing patterns can influence betting decisions. but It's important to approach Baccarat with an understanding of its rules, strategy, and a bit of luck.

Without counting ties.

Because of the rules of the game.

The banker hand wins 50.5 percent of the time. This is why the casino charges you 5% commission .

The players hand wins 49.5 of the time.

To offset this I bet banker smaller than player . If I bet banker 5.00 I'll bet player 10.00

Just an example .
