Its a fact: The sharp money has been on the Cleveland Browns all season.Every week, its the same thing, Ed Salmons, assistant manager at the Westgate SuperBook in Las Vegas, said Sunday afternoon. Well write a limit bet [on the Browns] by a wiseguy right at the gun.It may be time to question the wisdom of the wiseguys.Cleveland fell to 0-13 on the season with Sundays 23-10 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. The Browns are now a league-worst 2-11 against the spread. The 2008?Detroit Lions, the only team to go 0-16 in a season, went 7-9 ATS during their winless campaign. No team has covered the spread in fewer than three games in a season in the past 20 years.Its hard to be that bad and not cover, Salmons said of the Browns. Because the spreads get so inflated, its really hard not to cover.The Browns are managing to pull it off, and the betting public has rejoiced. Who is playing Cleveland has become a free bingo spot on parlay cards, bookmakers said.On Sunday at William Hills Nevada sportsbook, 85 percent of the money bet on Cincinnati-Cleveland was on the favored Bengals. It doesnt seem to matter what number we hang, the public is going to fade them, a Caesars sportsbook manager said. Honestly, I cant blame them.Action was lopsided toward Cincinnati around Las Vegas. Yet, as kickoff approached, the line began shrinking.Earlier in the week, the Browns grew to as much as 6-point underdogs. On Sunday morning, the line dipped to 4.5, after the routine late sharp action showed up on Cleveland, right before kickoff.We actually won money on the spread on that game, because of the sharp action that was on the Browns, Jason Simbal, vice president for Las Vegas sportsbook operator CG Technology, said. But obviously all the parlays accumulating had Cincinnati.The Westgate took a $10,000 limit bet from a professional player on the Browns +4.5 right before kickoff Sunday. Still, the public money on the Bengals outweighed the amount on Cleveland, leaving the Westgate rooting against the Browns alongside professional bettors.These guys are professionals. They are playing numbers, Salmons said. You want to gamble against the public, but at some point youd like to see a team cover.William Hill is offering odds on whether the Browns will finish 0-16. Yes is currently a -240 favorite.At William Hills 108 Nevada sportsbooks, 93 percent of the bets and 55 percent of the total dollars wagered are on Yes. The book took a $5,400 bet on the No at -900 on Oct. 20. If the Browns win a game, the bet would net $600.The Browns are the only team in the NFL this season to have been an underdog in every game. The SuperBook has installed Cleveland as a 10-point underdog at Buffalo this week.Giants help salvage Sunday for Vegas booksSeveral Las Vegas sportsbooks were down heading into the Sunday night game between the Dallas Cowboys and home underdog New York Giants. The Westgate and South Point sportsbooks said they were in practically no-win situations. Six favorites covered in the early nine-game slate, and the Green Bay Packers, a popular home-underdog pick with bettors, rolled past the Seattle Seahawks in one of the bigger afternoon losses for MGMs sportsbook.The early results left the MGM with a big decision brewing on the NFC East primetime showdown between the Cowboys and Giants. An hour and a half before kickoff, six times as much money had been bet on Dallas as had been bet on New York. If we get Giants, we hold onto the money, Jay Rood, MGM vice president of race and sports, said. If we dont, its going to be pretty much a wash.The Westgate was in a more precarious position heading into the night game, after losing big decisions with the New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Rams in the afternoon.If its Dallas and over, we can lose a ton, SuperBook assistant manager Ed Salmons said. If its Giants and over, we still lose. And if its Giants and under, we win literally next to nothing on the game. So its like you can lose a lot or win hardly anything.The Giants won 10-7 in a low-scoring game that stayed under the total.

Cabrera, facing a 50-game suspension in baseballs latest drug scandal, tied his career high with four hits and Logan Forsythe hit one of San Diegos three solo homers to lead the Padres to a 7-2 victory over CC Sabathia and the New York Yankees on Friday night. Cabrera, the Padres All-Star shortstop, is among 14 players facing discipline. Monday appears to be the deadline for the players to accept suspensions for their ties to the Biogenesis of America anti-aging clinic. "I cant say anything about that," Cabrera said. Cabrera had an RBI triple among his hits and scored a run. "That kind of game with four hits is special because we won the game," he said. "We have been better the last two weeks, competing a lot and everyone puts something to help the team to win the games. We have to keep doing this." The Yankees are playing for the first time at Petco Park, which opened in 2004. Prior to that, they took two of three against the Padres at Qualcomm Stadium from June 21-23, 2002. The Yankees also wrapped up their 1998 World Series sweep of the Padres at Qualcomm with victories in Games 3 and 4. Andrew Cashner (8-5) held the Yankees to two runs and seven hits in seven innings. He struck out two and walked none. "There were a lot of Yankees fans and Padres fans," Cashner said. "It was electric from the first pitch." Sabathia (9-10) is 0-4 in his last five starts. The left-hander allowed five runs and 11 hits in 5 2-3 innings, struck out four and walked three. Its the second-longest losing streak of his career, behind a five-game skid from July 6-30, 2005, while with Cleveland. The Yankees are fourth in the AL East, 8 1/2 games behind Boston, and are four games back in the wild-card race. "It obviously makes it more difficult," manager Joe Girardi said. "Thats the bottom line. We need him to be CC if were going to make a run." Sabathia agreed. "Im not saying that Im better than anybody else, but I feel like I need to be strong," he said. "Were battling, and Im not helping us. Ive expressed that. Weve been through a lot this year. And me not being able to help is killing us." Forsythes homer to left on a changeup from Sabathia put the Padres ahead 3-2 with one out in the fourth. It was his fourth. With two outs, a brain cramp by Sabathia led to another Padres run. Sabathia didnt cover firstt on Cashners grounder to first baseman Lyle Overbay, allowing him to reach on a single.dddddddddddd Cabrera then tripled to centre field to bring in Cashner and make it 4-2. Chris Denorfia singled with two outs in the sixth to chase Sabathia. The hit scored Nick Hundley, who drew a one-out walk and advanced on Cabreras single to centre. "The key today was our ability to lay off the low pitch," Padres manager Bud Black said. "Going in we wanted CC to get the ball up, especially the slider. And we laid off a lot of borderline low pitches. We had some very good opposite-field swings that resulted in singles. We put the pressure on him." Rookie Jedd Gyorko homered to straightaway centre off Joba Chamberlain with one out in the seventh, his ninth. It was Gyorkos sixth hit in 54 at-bats in 14 games since coming off the disabled list on July 12. Will Venable homered to right off Adam Warren with two outs in the eighth, his 13th. Sabathia was shaky from the start, allowing two singles and walking two in the first inning as San Diego took a 2-0 lead. Sabathia walked Jesus Guzman on four pitches to load the bases with one out and then walked Yonder Alonso on a 3-2 pitch to bring in Cabrera with the first run. Cabrera was aboard on a leadoff single. Gyorkos groundout brought in Chase Headley to make it 2-0. The Yankees tied it in the second. Ichiro Suzuki hit a leadoff single, stole second and scored on Eduardo Nunezs double down the right-field line. Nunez advanced on Chris Stewarts groundout and scored on Sabathias groundout. NOTES: Former Padres closer Trevor Hoffman presented retiring Yankees closer Mariano Rivera with a beach cruiser at home plate. Rivera has been honoured around the big leagues this year. "Im humbled. I definitely appreciate it," Rivera said before the game. The Padres also gave a beach cruiser to each member of Riveras family. ... Rivera and Hoffman are 1-2 on the career saves list. Rivera has 642 saves and Hoffman has 601. ... Rivera had three saves during the Yankees sweep of the Padres in the 1998 World Series, including a four-out save in the clincher at Qualcomm Stadium. ...
