There are everal possible arguments.
1) The chance that god exists could be infinitesmal.
2) There is not necessarily an infinite upside to believing in god (this could be for several reasons. Perhaps you believe in the wrong god. Perhaps you won't necessarily get into heaven. Perhaps you worship the correct god and still go to hell anyway).

As long as there's a chance of an infinite upside then there's an infinite upside.
(ignoring the possibilty of the chance being infinitesmal which is your other point).
