That's pretty much it. The point is that when you first selected a door, you had a 66% chance of picking a goat. Once the host opens the door with a goat, then you now only have a 33% chance of picking another goat if you swap, and 33% chance of choosing the car. So you are twice as likely not to choose the goat if you swap. Clear as mud.
Anyway...Bilbo wins, so take it away Solihull man
