Paddy Power have got into the festive spirit with a generous pledge to one of the PDC World Championship's new fan-favourites. Rashad Sweeting won over the hearts of Alexandra Palace and beyond with his antics at the oche at a crucial point in his match against Jeffrey de Graaf in the first round of the competition.

Rather than go for a much easier - though far less fun - third dart having nailed two treble 20s, he went for the glory of a 180 and left himself a difficult double seven to check out. At this point, Sweeting was 1-0 up in the first-to-three tie, and could have given himself a massive platform to pull off a stunning result, but instead put the entertainment factor first and went for the money shot.

In his defence, he nailed the throw and sealed the 100th 180 of the 2024-25 PDC Darts Championship, adding another £1000 to The Bigger 180 Campaign pot. As a reward for his showmanship, Paddy Power have pledged to pay for his plane ticket back to the Bahamas, where he is based.

Rashad Sweeting earned himself a free ticket back to the Bahamas with his 180 at Ally Pally. The crowd were baying for a maximum even though it would leave him a much harder finish. But Sweeting obliged and went for the 180 much to the pleasure of the raucous crowd.
