I'd stay on heads, cuz if I switched and then heads started evening out, I'd be really pissed

What the hell is "momentum" in coin tossing.

Good lord, let me explain it to you. Having the momentum is the opposite of being due. Depending on the game in question, one can be better than the other and visa versa. In coin tossing or red/black flop betting, for example, momentum works against you and being due is king, whereas in Chinese RPS or craps, momentum is everything and being due has very little relevance, other than to decrease the chances of you winning.

Rock, paper, scissors is beatable depending upon the opponent, however.

Yes of course, and this has been discussed.

At the least it probably isn't 50/50 between two human opponents without randomizing strategies.
