I can give more insight to what I'm doing, besides revealing exactly step by step.
It's extremely basic and extremely easy, once you have the tools and have done the proper research prior to diving in.
You need an accurate set of ratings or prices that are proven to be accurate and consistent.
You need to know exactly and accurately what advantage or disadvantage you have.
There is also the need to know the bigger the over you get, the more you put on, the more profit you make. This is basic stuff, but there are a lot of ratings that are not that accurate,and so when you see an overlay, they don't necessarily provide profit, because something unmeasurable or unpredictable has been left out!
Just a note, I do not use commercial ratings myself at all, there are other ways to determine the correct market price.
Finally, you have to set your lay and bet prices on Betfair and let them hang, you'll go bananas trying to chase prices manually.
There's a bit more to it, but it gives you an indication, and although it's basic stuff, they key is doing the research prior, so you are confident in the end result.
The reason this is so much better than betting systems etc, is that I can bet in every race, some races no risk (a la Mark) and whether my bets win a whole lot of races or lose a whole lot of races, I win money.
