(With slightly more fidelity to Mr. Pascal's formulation:)

You have nothing to lose.

You have much to get. God can give you a lot.

There might be no God. But a chance to get something is better than no chance at all.

So go for it.

You have nothing to lose.

You have little to lose. (For example, you waste your Sunday mornings. That's not nothing.)
