What is Pascal's wager?

Here are links to some articles about Pascal's Wager:

As far as I know, Pascal's Wager has about no credibility today even among
avowed Christian philosophers. For instance, I know a university lecturer on
philosophy who's a Christian, and he has dismissed Pascal's Wager as untenable.

Isn't he the guy that said you couldn't find an honest man with a fishing
pole? StanB

No, according to legend, Diogenes of Sinope (the 'Cynic') walked around Athens
while carrying a lighted lantern in broad daylight. When he was asked to
explain what he was doing, Diogenes replied: "I am looking for an honest man."
