Questions about different versions of baccarat
1) If the Player has 5 in European baccarat, he can decide whether to take the third card. I wanted to ask how this improves the odds and the house edge for different hands compared to American baccarat.
2) Is Punto Banco an American Baccarat, or are these two different games?
3) Also, I have a question regarding Chemin de Fer. Does anyone know if players can raise the Banker's bet?
4) My last question so far is regarding the Baccarat Banque. I've read the rules online, where it's stated that:
Yet if the player is a Banker, he wants the Players' hands to lose. How does that add up?Quote:The gameplay of Banque is very similar to Chemin de Fer with some small differences. Mainly, the fact that while players do take turns to be the bank, they don't play against each other

As far as I know:
2. They are the same game. The name Punto Banco is used where Baccarat means "three-handed Chemin de Fer."
3. No - that's why "banco" is a limit. The players can bet only up to the amount of the bank.
