You don't have very many predictions judged, so I'm not sure how reliable your worry is - only 8-11 predictions for each decile seems quite possible to just get lucky. Assuming that's not the case, you could try mechanically bumping up every prediction by 10% and see what happens.
Yes, that seems like a good point. I'm especially worried that my long-term predictions will turn out to be much too overconfident. And presumably I won't see that until at least a while has gone by.
