To answer the Wolf's original question, unfortunately, the pinny lean can no longer be counted on to make any player thousands of dollars while asking nothing in return. For anyone new(ish) to online sports, what's referred to as the 'pinny lean' is simply the tilt established toward one side or the other at pinnaclesports.com. Before the passage of the UIGEA and the cancellation of pinnacle's North American accounts, the brilliance of their sports staff, combined with careful attention to select sharp players' accounts basically turned the pinnacle lean into a free-to-anybody professional picking service that consistently won greater than 52.4% of its leans. Since pinnacle had excellent limits, sharps could play without any obfuscation and it was therefore easy for pinny to tag those accts. Unfortunately, many of those folks were playing under US facing accounts, and so in the post UIEGA world, their expertise (and their impact on the lean) was lost. Around that time, the Pinnacle ownership group was also expanding into brick and mortar casinos and didn't want to attract any governmental attention, so they've strictly enforced the ban. That lack of 'early warning indicator' players led to a less effective lean. After Pinny lost its North American business, much of that very talented management team left for greener pastures, so in pretty short order the Pinny lean lost both the sharp players and sharp managers that so effectively set the lean 'back in the day'. That said, the current management team is also quite bright, so I still note the lean on every play I make. It may not be the goose laying the golden eggs anymore, but the lean can still be used as a tool to aid your profitability. Good luck out there.
