can anyone give me a quick note on the ammount of points you win or lose when a game has ended and how it works, thanks

It's a complex calculation ... http://www.chess.com/article/view/chess-ratings---how-they-work

The number of points by which your rating will change is different for you and for your opponent. It also changes during the game, as your - or your opponent's rating changes. The only useful information you can find out is: how much your rating will change for a win, a loss and a draw at THIS POINT in THIS GAME. Use show rating adjustment, under the Details tab, for something like this:

Rated - Win: +16  Loss: -9  Draw: +4

Thank you

Also, when you receive a challenge, you are shown the consequences before you accept. e.g.

GAME DETAILS
Time Control: 3 days per move
I Play As: Black
win: +9, draw: -4, loss: -16

As noted before, these consequences (in terms of points) change dynamically throughout the game.

 you had a rating of 1203. Your draw netted you 2 rating points. The loss lost you 7. The win against a similarly-rated opponent gained you 13 points; but the win against a significantly weaker opponent only gave you 4 points.

The main factors affecting the number of points for a win/loss/draw are: the relative strengths of the two players and the number of games each has played.
