Monte Hall is confusing, because it's only after one switch.
A better way to visualize it is if there were a million doors. We stick with door #1 while Monty eventually opens up every door, save one. Now which is more likely to have the car, the door you picked at random out of a million, or the one Monty has been avoiding for 999,998 door openings?

(The problem has always been convincing the losing party after the bet, that they are wrong. But this will make it pretty obvious.)
