gitignore - is there any difference between !/**/ and !*/

I was going through the answers of How do I add files without dots in them (all extension-less files) to the gitignore file?

One answer is:

*
!/**/
!*.*

and the other answer is:

*
!*/
!*.*

So, is there any difference between !/**/ and !*/ or are they similar.
