Pascal's Wager (17th century):
If I believe in Christianity and Christianity is true, then I win.
If don't believe in Christianity and Christianity is false, I neither win nor lose.
If I believe in Christianity and Christianity is false, I neither win nor lose.
If I don't believe in Christianity and Christianity is true, then I lose big time.
