So, placed a bet earlier today on the Hitchin Town vs Leiston soccer match. I picked Hitchin Town to win. I was following the game on sofascore and it went to halftime. Before the 2nd half started, it said Leiston had "abandoned" the game. Does this constitute a winning bet since it appears the game was forfeited or a refund since a game wasn't fully played? Thanks for your answers.

It should follow on the gambling website Torn is based on.. Can't remember which now..
But typically, although I can't confirm with the above game, match forfeited is typically considered a win for the other team

Once i got refunded bcz the stadium is flooded
The torn bookie is via Betfair. It will be Betfair that decides what happens with an abandonment. On their site rules it states that abandonment will void the bet. It’s up to Betfair whether voiding means you lose your bet or they refund.
This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard in terms of how a bookie would treat that occurrence. Completely rigged.
For reference, from Betfair:
"If a match starts but is later abandoned or postponed and Betfair believes that the match will not have been completed by 23:59 (local time) on its scheduled start date, then all markets, with the exception of any unconditionally determined markets, will be void unless Betfair has knowledge that the match has been rescheduled to be played within three days of its original start date. If Betfair does have knowledge that the game will be played within three days and the game is played within three days, then all bets will stand except if the match is restarted from the beginning. If the match is restarted from the beginning then all bets matched before the market went in-play will stand, but any bets placed in-play will be void, except for any bets placed in-play on markets which have been unconditionally determined, which will stand."
Specifically for abandoned matches:
"In relation to any match, fixture, game, individual event, race or similar: If the event is not completed within three days after the scheduled completion date, then all bets on markets for this event will be void, except for bets on any markets that have been unconditionally determined."
As far as what void means - I think it probably means your bet will be returned.

As someone who likes a flutter every now and then void does normally mean stakes are returned
