Isn't RPS "meant" to be a game rather than a way to decide randomly between two options? There's an element of skill involved since you can attempt to avoid playing patterns and identify patterns in your opponent's play in repeated rounds
In game theory, odds and evens is called matching pennies, and RPS is the 3-strategy generalization of matching pennies.
Both are games with cyclic behavior and no pure Nash equilibria.
Fair enough! That's not a field I've got any knowledge of
