Like everyone is saying I'm going against the public and taking the panthers but I have seen very few niners picks and mainly panthers bets so who is this supposed public ? The guy that bets 5 dollars or a 5 team 10 dollar parlay ? Is that the public everyone is fading ? Somebody explain this to me please .

100% accurate and is why these numbers are worthless.
That word is probably not the right one to describe it. I would say the numbers are DECEIVING but it still gives you a gauge as to what side the public is leaning. I don't really put too much stock into that component so it really doesn't matter to me

the public is who has most action on them not what niners picks you have been reading here.
79% on niners spread and 74% on niners ML
Keep in mind this is the percentage of bets on one side or the other not the amount of money on one side or the other
I'm not entirely sure some sites that give these numbers are totally accurate. I work in a "dude" kind of environment so there is an entire building full of people eager to watch football. Lots of gamblers and the rest are casual fans. But when I see 79% of wagers being placed on SF, I kind of wonder because almost every person I talked to about football this week likes Carolina or is betting Carolina. One stray guy said he's rooting for the Panthers, but he doesn't think they have a shot, but for the most part, I would say the "public" is definitely on Carolina. I fully understand that the 40-50 guys at my job is a very small sample size though, and I would be foolish to think those guys would necessarily reflect what's going on in the betting world.
Vandal, public picks isn't something I really pay attention to personally when I cap games so I don't track that kind of info. What casino/book gave you those numbers you listed? During the week, I do equate public perception as a way for me to guess line movement so I can get the best line, but I never really looked at hard numbers. Do you feel the percentages you get are accurate? Does that book stand to gain or lose anything if they were to "fudge" the numbers a bit?

That's exactly how you should gauge the 'public' opinion. Literally, take in the sounds of your environment. You have to make the distinction of the persons perspective though. Bettors who are fans tend to think a lot differently than those who are just fans. You have to- at least if you want to make money. However, during playoff season the percentage of 'public' (the lay person betting) increases to ridiculous amount just because of the hype of it all.
I don't think the percentages of the playoff wagers listed on those sources are proportional to regular season games. They're much more skewed. Not to mention- all these various sites that speculate to know the percentages of bets are taken from small pools of data. It's hardly reflective of the entire population. It might be accurate to specific regions, but not applicable to others. I like to take percentages into consideration if they are seriously one-sided, but other than that- it's a hindrance to capping and could f_ck up your flow. Ha...
As far as fudging the numbers- go- meh. I don't think there's too much to gain from that. Multiple sources tend to mirror each other. So a cross check is easy to rule out potential or blatant falsification.
