Last week somebody put on a call spread on the VIX using the April 20 and 25 puts.

This is balony ... if you are entering a long or short CALL spread position, you are using CALLS ... not PUTS.

Nope - They bought the april 20 calls and sold the april 25 puts.

This reduces the cost of the bet by trimming the upside potential.
