i have my own unique style of arbing, basically it says maximize the profits on favorites. It looks like this; if i find odds at book A at 1.50, and at book B at 4.00, and bet 100$ at book A, and on book B I should bet 37.5$ to be 12.5$ in profit. However, the odds suggest that the first team is much more likely to win the match, so in this specific case I place 33$ bet on the second team. If first team wins, my total stake was 133$ and the winnings are 150$, giving me a profit of 17$. If second team wins, which is less likely, i am down 1$. I don't know if there is a name for this sort of arbing, but it is giving me solid results.
i have also suggested your idea some posts before

Like you have said ,long term balance at Pinnacle is and will be forever negative.

So, if you don't mind , i would give you an advice : Wager at Pinnacle the amount that break you even (hope i have said it correctly)

EXAMPLE

Over 2.5 @ 2.10 ( local )
Under 2.5 @ 2.00 (pinnacle)

Put 1 unit at your local ---> 1 * 2.10 = 2.1 units
Put 1 unit at pinnacle ----> 1 * 2.00 = 2 units

Outcome: over 2.5 ---> +0.1 profit
under 2.5 ----> break even
