This is a question Expensive Mistakes

coopsweb asks "What's the most expensive mistake you've ever made? Should I mention a certain employee who caused 4 hours worth of delays in Central London and got his company fined £500k?"

No points for stories about the time you had a few and thought it'd be a good idea to wrap your car around a bollard. Or replies consisting of "my wife".

This is a QotW answer I used to work for a guy whose son is a racing driver
In 2001, as his son was beginning a career racing cars (rather than karts) he advised me to go to the bookies and place as much money as I could afford on a bet - a bet that his son would become a Formula 1 racing driver in 2006. I was skint at the time and thought "nah, fuck it".

In November 2006 his son became a Formula 1 racing driver. Imagine the odds I could have got on that bet. I do - sometimes I lie awake thinking about it.

Bugger.
