What Should I Write About?
The Mock Sports’ content revolves solely around content based on sports and punting.
Here are some examples of topics that we would love to see from you:
Punting Tips!
Fancy yourself the best punter in the land? Put your skills to the test and provide betting previews of all the biggest Sporting and Horse Racing events in Australia and Beyond! Whether it be full cards of Racing Tips, a selection of best bets or just any tips across any Sport that you’re confident in we would love to hear them!
Lists!
Lists are always a popular form of content and it is the kind of content that kicked off the writing careers of The Mocks, so the more we have on our site, the better. For Example: Top 10 Sports Movies, Top 10 BBL Moments In History, 10 Bold Predictions for the AFL In The Next 10 Years
Opinion Pieces!
We want to hear your opinion on the Sports you love! If you were a coach, what changes would you make? Who should your team sign? Who should they Draft? Who needs to be dropped? Who should be playing for Australia but isn’t? You get the drift, whatever your opinion is, send them on through!
