Against a truly random opponent? No.

Against a human? Yes. Because humans lean towards choices based on which one appears stronger (rock appears stronger, I will play rock first), based on previous decisions (I played paper a few times in a row, I’d better play rock now), or based on an opponent’s previous decisions (he just played rock, I’ll bet he plays rock again). If you take advantage of these, you can do better than 50%.
