The article analyzes some important reasons pro and contra Pascal`s wager argument. Many gods objection and objections by Antony Duff and Alan Hájek are discussed. A reformulation of Pascal`s wager is offered in order to make the case for Pascal`s conclusion stronger. It is shown that some form of wager could still represent a serious problem for rational decision theory.
