I think Pascal's Wager fails for three reasons:
​
1) Humans cannot choose what they believe.
​
2) An omniscient God would know you're only betting for your own good; rather than truely believing.
​
3) The fact that betting on God is smart, doesn't say anything about the question if He exists, or not.
