Default Question about Footy Tab betting

So say I want to put a bet on tonight that the Eels are going to beat the dragons...

How do I put a bet on them to win, not by margin or anything just to win no matter what the score?

Also what is this 5.5 start stuff??

Should just be a "head to head" bet for TAB sportsbet. No margins, no nothing. Just win/lose.

Points starts arent needed for a head to head bet... but what they do is basically handicap a team (i.e. TAB's people select a handicap for the better team). Makes it harder to pick (i.e. cant just pick all the winners for a round, which can be easy at times and results in shyte dividends) and therefore get better odds - better potential winnings. 5.5 points start means the better team has a 5.5 point handicap. (half points are always picked because it means you have to pick 5 or 6... therefore wont result in a push with the TAB @ 5.5).
