Better Collective, the world-leading sports betting media group, announced an innovative partnership with The Chicago Tribune, the leading source of news and information in the Midwest, to bring engaging sports betting content to the publication’s readership of more than 18 million monthly visitors who depend on the newspaper for insightful, award-winning sports journalism.
Better Collective will provide readers of chicagotribune.com with betting odds and useful tips for upcoming games and analysis of teams and players, as well as direct links to sports betting platforms for seamless placement of wagers.

The partnership is expected to be operational by mid August in time for the start of the NFL season.
