No, I'm not, but I suspect such nuances are lost on you.
Let's see if I can clarify by removing all mentions of gods from the argument.
You are using and argument to claim A exists. I point out that your argument works equally to prove B,C, and D exist, which means you are not any closer to proving A exists. That does not mean I am using the existence of B,C, and D to prove you wrong.
That is just one of the ways in which Pascal's wager fails.
The atheist or agnostic is still risking infinite loss if he is wrong no matter if there are 1 or 4 choices of believe or damned.
So it does not help the predicament of the atheist or agnostic.
Pascal's wager says investigate the 4 choices.
