hmm i dont quite understand that... so when the bet is on +4.5 your betting on them winning the game after having 4.5 points added to their score? But when you bet on a team on -4.5 your betting on them winning by a margin of at least 5 points?

Correct. If you bet on someone at -4.5, and they win by 4, you lose. If you bet on someone at +4.5, and they lose by 4, you win. The points are handicapping the contest. Otherwise, noone would ever bet on the game between the worst and best time because everyone assumes the best team will win.
