I would interpret that wording to mean 1-6 balls short of the final over be bowled as being 1 over short. IE 19 complete overs bowled and 0-5 balls of the last over bowled...for the team batting 2nd. Thus I would interpret 14 overs and 4 balls bowled to be 6 overs short. I could accept the 'overall result' under Duckworth-Lewis being applied. I could accept 'totals over' being settled as a winner if the 40 overs "betting total = Over" had already been exceeded in the 34.4 overs bowled. Under this rule I don't see how the "betting total = Under" could ever be deemed a winner. That clearly doesn't mean it should be settled as a loser. The rule as written indicates this is a void bet situation. It's a terrible rule if 1 side can win or be void and the other side can only lose or be void. Either all totals bets should be void or all totals bets should stand and be settled under the Duckworth-Lewis calculation. In these situations I invariably look to the rules of my former company in the UK. I was actually pretty shocked to see they settle totals bets under the Duckworth Lewis calculation. With that horrible bit of information I guess I can see what 1xBet are doing. They see the totals bet as being determined by Duckworth Lewis and they see individual player batting totals as undetermined and void.
Ouch! I started this post 100% in agreement with the op. Now i'm mostly still in that camp but i'm not 100% sure. I can only say if it was my bet i'd be bloody furious, but I would never have bet with 1xBet in the 1st place.
Not that anyone cares or it being relevant but purely for interest here is the rule at Corals:
41.2 LIMITED OVER MATCHES
All bets, including those affected by reduced over matches, will be settled in accordance with the official competition rules. If a match is disrupted by bad weather or other external factors, the bet will be settled using official competition rules. This includes matches affected by a mathematical calculation, such as the Duckworth-Lewis method (DL) or the Jayadevan system (VJD).
