I thought it meants when someone purposely refuses to attempt to gain more points for their team, thus losing them the game, usually because the other team offered them something as a bribe.

you miss a few points to cover a point spread in a bet

like your team still wins, but it wins by a closer margin in order for some bets to lose/win
