I have tried asking chatgpt, i have tried searching animations, I just dont get it!

Edit: I finally get it. If you choose a wrong door, then the other wrong door gets opened and if you switch you win, that can happen twice, so 2/3 of the time.

I like to switch it from 3 doors to 52 playing cards.

Suppose you wanted to draw the ace of spades. You draw 1 card. Monty Hall then offers to let you switch to the other 51 cards. If any of the 51 cards is the ace of spades, you’ll win.

Should you switch? Obviously, yes. 51/52 is much better odds than 1/52.

Now, play the exact same game. However, this time, Monty turns over 50 cards before making the offer.

This is actually the same offer. If you switch, your odds are still 51/52. The only difference is that Monty shows you the failures first. But in either game, you know there must be 50 failures in the 51 cards. So it doesn’t change the outcome.
