Answer

It isn't formal.
It means: to give me victory, or success.
"I fought with a much bigger opponent, but his being drunk gave me a win."
"Many excellent candidates were interviewed for the job, but my spoken English skills gave me a win."
"Our products are no better than those of our competitors, but our faster delivery times and superior customer service will give us a win."
