Most simply, the difference between these two words is that one can beat a person or a team and can win an argument or a game. “Beat” refers to what you have done to your opponent. “Win” refers to what you gain for yourself. When you beat your opponent, you win a trophy!

is there any book or links that we can browse to find such an explanation (the right vocab in the right situation, because usually some english words have one same meaning _ )
