Most reasonable people probably recognize that Pascal's wager is not a very good argument from a purely epistemological point of view. There is, however, also a strange incentive structure to it.
Follow along. If we want to 'minimize the negative outcomes', we should believe in the particular version of God, in which belief undoes the maximal amount of negative outcome. Thus, if you believe in a God that will punish you with an eternity in hell and I want you to turn to belief in a different God, I should present you with a God that will punish both you and anyone you know with an eternity in hell.
Thus, the God that Pascal's wager would ultimately lead you to accept is either the maximally cruel God if such a God can be imaginable, or ever crueller Gods replacing each other as fast as preachers can invent ever crueller ones.
