Pascal's Mugging. Pascal's Wager with something breaking symmetry (in this case observed belief of others).

Yes, I suppose it is technically a Pascal's Mugging. I think Pascal thought he was playing Pascal's Mugging though.

I don't think Pascal recognized any potential symmetry in the first place, or he would have addressed it properly.
