Refresher on Baccarat?

I know the total to win is 9. And the Bankers hand pays a 5% commission. But how does playing the Banker give an advantage? Been too long simply forgotten

Banker 5% commission determined because Player must draw first and Player must take a card on 5.

Thanks! I was just thinking about what else to play besides Craps; that is if things ever get back to normal. My memory says bacarrat is a game that what the player sitting next to you does, has no bearing on your winning or loosing. I know in blackjack, many years ago in Atlantic City the woman next to me got mad that "I took her card". LOL.. She didn't think I should have hit my hand ..Don't recall the outcome, but changed my mood entirely.
