Does anyone here re-adjust their bet size per week ? Say you were betting 2% per play but after one week you are showing a profit,what are the disadvantages of betting 2% of the new bankroll or is there any?

    From a mathematically optimal standpoint, AFAIK, you should theoretically re-adjust as often as possible (assuming your winnings are earmarked to remain part of your bankroll).

    If you've determined that 2% is your optimal bet amount, then if you don't adjust, you're no longer betting optimally.

    All that said, I'm sure many/most bettors don't adjust as often as the math says they should.

    Sorry if my answer was overly general; perhaps someone sharper or more mathy than myself will give you a more fully developed response.
