Thoughts on Pascal's Wager

What are your thoughts on Pascal's Wager?
I'm asking atheists in particular.

I've noticed this pattern amongst the athiest community, then whenever God is mentioned, you all seem to get very angry.
If you truly don't believe in God then why do you get triggered upon His mentioning? It doesn't seem that way when say faeries and leprechauns are mentioned, you'd laugh it off in that case it just makes it seem you personally have something against Him. Anyway, my understanding is the reason why you atheists think of Pascal's Wager is utter nonsense is because you reject there being a God to begin with. But why not take your chances per say right before you die and just say you believe? I mean it definitely won't hurt. Think about that for a moment.
