COLJI-Crim. F:160.4
GAMBLING INFORMATION
“Gambling information” means a communication with respect to any
wager made in the course of, and any information intended to be used for,
professional gambling.
Evidence of information as to wagers, betting odds, or changes in
betting odds gives rise to a permissible inference that the information was
intended for use in professional gambling. However, legitimate news
reporting of an event for public dissemination is not gambling information.
A permissible inference allows, but does not require, you to find a
fact from proof of another fact or facts, if that conclusion is justified by the
evidence as a whole. It is entirely your decision to determine what weight
shall be given the evidence.
You must bear in mind that the prosecution always has the burden of
proving each element of the offense beyond a reasonable doubt, and that a
permissible inference does not shift that burden to the defendant.
