I don't get the math, but apparently, it works

Mark Evanier has been talking about this on his blog here and here. No matter how many times I read it, it just doesn't make sense. Then again, I am arithmetically impaired.
It involves Monty Hall, three doors, two goats and a car. Somehow, if you pick door number one and get a goat, switching your original pick for the second door opening doubles your odds of winning.
I wonder if anything like that would work on "Deal or No Deal?"
