In Argentina we use the expression "te tengo de hijo" with the same meaning than "I owe you".

Chelle, you didn't look this up, you fed it into a machine translator, which spit out this garbage. It is utterly meaningless, and therefore worthless. I'm only telling you this so you won't trust machine translations in the future.

I remember that someone ( an youngish, American guy) at work did me a favor and he pointed his finger at me and said, " I own you now "

Ha ha, I assumed he was on Facebook, where "owning" people seems to be a popular pastime for some. Who knows'?

Nice one, Guillermo! Only a native speaker could come up with things like this.

By the way, it should be "with the same meaning as 'I own you.'"

in the context of like saying you are better than them at something

So this is a way of talking trash (fanfarronear). My Spanish doesn't extend very far into the sports world, so I'll let someone else help you, but I'll give some examples in English to help them.

(In basketball)
-Oh yeah, I made another shot!
-Man, you are lucky today.
-Oh, there's no luck about it. I can make that shot on you every time, 'cause I own you!

(In bowling)
-Dude, that's your fifth straight strike!
-Yeah, you just got owned.

The basic meaning is "I am completely dominant over you in this activity." It reeks of testosterone, so the Spanish should, too.

"You just got owned" is not very good English . . . .
