Pascal's Wager appeals to the fearful and intellectually weak. It has nothing to do with the likelihood or evidence of a god but the consequences of what some supposed God would do if you didn't believe in it.

Positive. Ask a Christian arguing Pascal's Wager where babies who haven't had a choice whether to belive or not go when they die. They'll probably say heaven. So, through that logic, to save a baby from a potential from infinite suffering, kill then while they still go to heaven.
Personally, I think it's a stupid argument. People who use it always assume that it's either their specific "God(s)" or nothing. The fact of the matter is that they're betting on 1 in several thousand odds.
