The fact is that you don't know what probability means...

when you flip a coin, the probability is 50/50...... whatever you flip it 100 times or 1 times...does this mean you will ALWAYS get tail on the first shot? NO...but the odd is still 50/50


Same thing with this problem!
the odds are 66/33

does it mean you will ALWAYS win by switching? no...but you have a greater chance....whatever you play 1 or 10000000000 times....the probability is still THE SAME
