Still doesn't make sense how I lost... seems fishy, but is it best to change seed every 50-100 bets or so?  

The way provably fair works is that setting your client seed is what determines every bet you will make with that seed, because each roll is server seed + client seed + nonce (the nonce is adding a sequential numbers to the end).  Adding a number to the client seed makes the roll change randomly.  From when you first set your client seed, the server can determine what your next 1 billion rolls would be if they wanted to.  They cannot however, change or manipulate these rolls.

If you feel you are unlucky, changing the client seed will change the outcome of your future rolls, so some people choose to do that because it makes them feel better, but statistically it provides no advantage.  It just gives you a different set of future rolls.


ok so if you were to change your seed for EVERY ROLL...what in the code ensures the outcome of the rolls will be as advertised percent? hmmm =O

The number you get for each roll is mashing up the server seed, and client seed with the nonce at the end, to get a number.  I believe they have a verification page in their FAQ that explains this.  But when you make the rolls, you do not know your server seed.  After changing your client seed, you can see your past server seed and client seed with the nonce of the bet, and mash it together for each rolls and see that they add up to the number you were given.

How do i change the seed for the site???
and is it possible to see future rolls?

The website can see future rolls because they have the server seed and your client seed.  They cannot change them however because those are locked in and the same until YOU change them.  They could for instance see that you were about to win 10 times in a row but there is nothing they could do about it.

Because you don't know your server seed until after you choose to change it, you cannot do the calculations beforehand and see your rolls.
