I was trying to de-trivialize "bad karma". It's true that Buddhism doesn't have an eternal hell. It's not accurate to say that there aren't severe, terrifying consequences of living a bad life that are considered possible in the afterlife.
At any rate, I don't think humans are capable of comprehending eternity, so I'm not sure how meaningful Pascal's Wager really is. While there's objectively a huge difference between 10^14 years of torment and an eternity of it, I can't say that I can begin to fathom either one.
