BeautifulSoup find_all() returns no data

Question

I am very new to Python. My recent project is scraping data from a betting website. What I want to scrape is the odds information from the webpage.

Here is my code

from urllib.request import urlopen as uReq
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as soup

my_url = 'http://bet.hkjc.com/default.aspx?url=football/odds/odds_allodds.aspx&lang=CH&tmatchid=120653'

uClient = uReq(my_url)
page_html = uClient.read()
uClient.close()

page_soup = soup(page_html, "html.parser")

page_soup.findAll("div",{"class":"oddsAll"})

but the result return [] , which is none

What should I do to make my code work?

Updated the URL to be the page loaded from this page, using JavaScript, which contains the data and updated the tmatchid to be current 120998. Updated div to be tabe and the correct class.

from urllib.request import urlopen as uReq
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as soup
my_url = 'http://bet.hkjc.com/football/odds/odds_allodds.aspx?lang=CH&tmatchid=120998'
uClient = uReq(my_url)
page_html = uClient.read()
uClient.close()
page_soup = soup(page_html, "html.parser")
tables = page_soup.findAll("table",{"class":"tOdds"})
for table in tables:
    print (table.text)

Outputs:

UPDATED in response to comment:

In this case you need the URL of the frame showing the data. You can do something like this:

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
url = requests.get('http://football.hkjc.com/football/iframe/statistics/head-to-head/summary-iframe.aspx?ci=en-US')
soup = BeautifulSoup(url.content, 'lxml')
divs = soup.findAll('div', {'class':['win', 'draw', 'lose']})
for div in divs:
    print (div.get_text())

Outputs:
