Ment,
I wrote it quite clearly in the very first post. Let me explain: he took two probabilities, a small one and a large one. In the first case, he multiplied the large one by a small number (which symbolized the gain in the event of the first assumption), and in the second case, he multiplied the small probability by an infinitely large number (which symbolized the redemption of sins and eternal life).
Then, we figure out that he is a Christian. I'm not very good at interpreting things (maybe someone will correct me), but it's obvious to me that God accepts everyone, even those who don't believe in him. Right? Also, if I don't believe, but I follow normal human principles in life, then I won't go to hell either. It turns out that the bonuses that Pascal put on the second scale to achieve a tipping point, he should also put on the first scale. And he couldn't not know this.

And he didn't do that, in other words, he consciously fabricated the conditions that gave him the desired result. That's why the question was asked: isn't he a hypocrite? - because such an outstanding mathematician could not fail to understand the limits of his own assumptions in the bet.
