Interesting story, not sure if I am convinced though.

This is something I put in my Lost In Thought book:
ROCK/PAPER/SCISSORS ONCE A few of my fellow mentalists also started working with the premise of this simple game. Most want to be able to win at it every time. I’m sure it’s possible, but I came up with a way to always win the first time. See what you think. The performer states that he always wins the first round of Rock/Paper/Scissors and he will show this feat. He puts his hand behind his back and says, “I have my prediction ready so whenever someone decides to play then let’s go, but I promise I will win the first time with my prediction.” A game is played and on the first attempt the performer wins. Here’s how: Take a small piece of paper and write the word SCISSORS on it then crumple up the paper so the word is on the inside. Have this little ball somewhere on you where you can easily get access to it. Start the game by saying that you always win the first round with the prediction you keep behind your back. Put your hand behind you back and steal out the paper ball and keep it in your closed fist. Now play the game… once. As soon as you are told to bring out your hand, come out in a closed fist. If the person has Scissors showing you say, “I have Rock and that always beats Scissors.” If they have Rock then open you hand to display the paper and say, “My prediction is always Paper and paper always beats Rock.” If they have Paper showing then open you hand and start to unfold the paper as you say, “I always write one word as a prediction: Scissors. And, you know, Scissors always beats Paper.” Cute, but gets the job done.
One of my favorite quotes: "A critic is a legless man who teaches running."

That's true only if you're playing against two other people. If you're playing against one other person you'll win about half the time.

I think the odds were about each round (and not the game), because there are 3 possible scenarios: you win, you loose, you draw, so at each round the odds of winning are 1 in 3.

If you play first up to, rather then best out of a certain score each game, then the odds are in your favour surely.
