Video: Does Mark Wahlberg have the secret to betting on the UFC?

Mark Wahlberg’s new movie “The Gambler” opens today, and he recently dispensed some advice for betting on sports.

Specifically, Wahlberg, who appears with UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey in next summer’s “Entourage” movie (Wahlberg produced the HBO series and was the inspiration for main character Vinnie Chase) talked to our friends at For The Win about a trick he learned for making bets with his friends on UFC fights.

We’re not entirely sure his trick would work on your hardcore MMA fans, but we at least have to applaud Wahlberg for his efforts.

Check out the video interview above, in which the Boston native – who has a little combat sports background himself after starring in the Oscar-nominated film “The Fighter” – talks about sports wagering, including on the UFC.
