ho will rise higher in the world rankings in 2013 - tennis player Ričardas Berankis or the Lithuanian national football team? This unusual bet was included in the offer by the betting company "TonyBet".

The favorite is R.Berankis. The best Lithuanian tennis player in the ATP ranking is currently at 113th place, but he does not hide his ambitions of returning to the top one hundred. For those who want to bet on R.Berankis, the odds offered are 1.65.

If you guess that the football team will surpass R.Berankis - you could win more, as the odds for Csaba Laszlo's pupils are 2.20. Lithuanian footballers were ranked 85th in the FIFA ranking in August, but dropped to 119th place in November. Currently, the team is in 116th place.

"We, like all Lithuanians, love both Ričardas Berankis and the Lithuanian national football team. This year has not been the best for our best tennis player and footballers, so by offering these bets, we want to encourage them to strive for better results and at the same time test the Lithuanians' faith and favor towards one side or the other," said Vytautas Kačerauskas, the managing director of the betting company "TonyBet".
