What is Pascal's Wager?

Pascal's Wager is an argument presented by Blaise Pascal in his philosophical work, which suggests that it is in one's best interest to behave as if God exists, because the potential gains (eternal happiness) outweigh any finite losses (such as inconvenience) if God does not exist. It is one of the early philosophical arguments involving the concept of probability.
