Get tabledata from html, JSOUP

What is the best way to extract data from a table from an url?

In short I need to get the actual data from the these 2 tables at: http://www.oddsportal.com/sure-bets/

In this example the data would be "Paddy power" and "3.50" See this image:

I have tried with Jsoup, but i dont know if this is the best way? And I can't seem to navigate correctly down the tables, I have tried things like this:

    tables = doc.getElementsByAttributeValueStarting("class", "center"); 
    link = doc.select("div#col-content > title").first();
    String text1 = doc.select("div.odd").text();

The tables thing seem to get some data, but doesn't include the text in the table

Sorry, man. The second field you want to retrieve is filled by JavaScript. Jsoup does not execute JavaScript. To select title of first row you can use:

Document doc = Jsoup.connect("http://www.oddsportal.com/sure-bets/").get();
     Elements tables = doc.select("table.table-main").select("tr:eq(2)").select("td:eq(2)");
     System.out.println(tables.select("a").attr("title"));

Chain selects used for visualization.
