Sure, and you could be a monkey typing from Thailand for all I know. We can't live life without making any assumptions.
 
(now, being more serious, Pablita is either: a real female name -it's an unusual one in spanish at least- or, more likely, a nickname for Paola, which also is a female name in all latin languages).

Her profile says she's female (in the case the clues of having female username and female cartoon character as her avatar weren't convincing enough).

Meh, very predictable and boring.
 
Disappointed with Kostner and the americans.

I'm very sure at least Sheilla Castro and Thaisa Menezes were part of all of them.
 
Adding one more: Kieren Perkins of Australia won swimming 1500m Freestyle in 92 and 96 but then silver in 2000.

You say that because your country wins lots of medals all the time, so one more or less wouldn't make any difference. If you were from Nepal and someone wins a medal for your country you would be cheering like a madman even if that person had the most bland personality in the world.
 
 

There aren't negative scores.
 
Your possible final score ranges from 0 to 250, the more bets you win the closer you are to that maximum score, but you don't get deducted points for losing a bet. 
 
I think for next edition we could add that "risk" feature, so users think twice before betting 10s left and right (something many users did for this contest). But I will need time to think about how it could work best.

Oh, sorry again, I just remembered what was the problem with this bet...
 
The phrasing "in all individual events" is ambiguous. The original intention from the author of this one (phelps I think) was to mean between all 6 events together, but unfortunately I missed to add that info and therefore, "in all individual events" could be misunderstood by someone as meaning "in each of the individual events".
 
Because of the ambiguity and because I realised about this mistake after the deadline (and so I couldn't make clear the correct interpretation to everyone like we did with some other ambiguous bets), I fear I have no option other than to award the bet as won to everyone. 
 
Sorry again, I should have been more careful. 

Snowboarding (5)
 
61- Czech Republic will win at least one Gold Medal. [YES/NO]
 

No one commented on it, but the  participant finished in front of Smith from  

Colombia's hypothetical chance in the future is obviously speed skating, since they are extremely good in Roller/Inline Speed Skeeting. They should focus all their resources in that.

oops sorry, I copypasted the wrong word. The answer is indeed "yes".

Meh disappointed, I really wanted to see Korea winning all gold to make everyone here go nuts.

Almost all bets were made by you guys, if they are easy it's on you

General advice for anyone who might almost fall in the same trap as me: watch out for the 'double positive/negative' questions  (as in "Event X will not happen", yes/no, where yes means it will not happen and no means it will happen  )

Do you have a deal with sindo to promote your site? Because if not you are gonna get deleted 

PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Bet Contest is now OPEN
 
Please, READ THE RULES carefully before posting. And keep track of the NUMBER OF POINTS you distributed at the end, this is very important. I will try to warn users that have excess of points few days before the deadline, but you will be disqualified if you're exceded by even 1 point (it's tough but there is no other option unfortunately, otherwise I wouldn't be able to keep the contest fair).
 
Also, if you detect any ambiguity or problems with the bets (or if you just need some clarification of the meaning), don't hesitate to tell me here. This contest is tough to make so it's always possible that I didn't notice some flaw in the bets. The sooner we see them the better, of course.
 
Good Luck!

At the end most of what I suspected beforehand of the men's competition turned out right: Roger main candidate with a distance, Zverev & Thiem will flop, Dimitrov being a big candidate was laughable, Kyrgios good but not enough, Cilic had some chance to do something important (I had him as my 5th favorite  ) 

Speed skating
The Netherlands will 'sweep' a distance (winning all three medals).
Norway will win an individual medal.
At least 5 athletes will go under 13 minutes in the 10km.
At least 5 athletes will fall in the men's and women's 500m (combined).
Japan will beat USA in the women's medal standings.
Germany, Norway, Italy, Canada, Finland, Belgium, South Korea, USA, Czech Republic and Poland together will beat the Netherlands in the medal standings.
Any woman will win at least three medals.
At least two athletes will win two or more individual gold medals.

I can't find the post now but I told him exactly the same thing one year ago haha
