      I don't agree. Every person puts scissors first. Then paper because they think you'll put rock again, and then scissors again.

      When I try to lose I tell the person I’m up against what I am going to do but then they think I’m going to trick them and they chose the thing I defeat like if I say ima choose scissors but they think I’m trying to make them use rock and kill them with paper instead so they switch to the thing that kills rock which is paper and then I actually use scissors which messes them and me at the same time

    0:39 well this depends on what language ur using
    for example in Hong Kong, we said “包剪揼”
    包 means paper
    剪 means scissors
    揼 means rock
    so when we translate it straight forward to English, it will be “paper-scissors-rock”

    I always choose paper first and the second time, I use rock because people think I use paper again and they choose scissors.Then it goes like that whatever they choose and I just do the opposite of what they think I do. In 90% of time I won. I recommend my method to you^_-

    The thing that helps you win the most is how most people think it’s chance.

      That's what I'm saying. Use rock in the first round because I feel like in the first round ppl choose either rock or scissors so I would recommend to choose rock because u either win if they choose scissor or u wont lose if they choose rock so it's a win win

    CONSELLO 3: Non sexas predicible
    Se perdemos a quenda anterior, entón a persoa contraria podería agardar a que cambiemos a outra xogada. Isto dános a nosa vantaxe final: sorprendelos repetindo a nosa opción anterior. Con sorte cambiarán pensando que nós cambiemos tamén. E isto debería aumentar as nosas posibilidades.
    Canto menos predicible sexas, máis oportunidades terás de gañar.

      It's strategy.
      I win the first round with rock, because most people tend to put scissors first. (and if they are losing a bet against me or are easily getting angry they'll probably go with paper because they won't rethink it and then they're gonna go with it since they're gonna think I'm going with rock again.) but no. This time im going with scissors since I know their strategy, etc. And then scissors again, because they will probably know my moves

    Tip 4. Ask a stupid question to your opponent. Once you do that throw rock.
    Research shows that asking a stupid question right before rock paper scissors the human brain puts scissors

    CONSELLO 1: Saber por onde comezar
    O xogo baséase principalmente en predicir e avaliar o teu rival. Daquela, e se se puidera predicir o seu primeiro movemento? Unha investigación demostrou que hai unha lixeira preferencia a comezar con pedra.
    Hai diferentes teorías sobre o porqué -iso podería deberse a que é o primeiro mencionado no nome do xogo, ou podería ser porque a pedra parécese a un puño, que semella poderoso.
    Así que, sabendo iso, xa temos unha vantaxe: xoga papel.

    CONSELLO 2: Se perden, probablemente cambien
    Unha investigación proba que as persoas que perden unha vez, tenden a cambiar. Polo tanto, habería unha posibilidade razoable de que o opoñente cambie a tesoiras ou a papel. Iso dános unha segunda vantaxe: simplemente saca tesoiras e deberiamos gañar ou empatar.
    Pero isto non é unha ciencia exacta.
    Mais, que pasa se non funciona o plan e o noso opoñente gaña?
    Talvez coñezan un pouco a estratexia do xogo.
