Three wins out of three leaves Miron Bleiberg's outfit as the only side with a 100 per cent record and both TAB Sportsbet and Centrebet now view United as the team to beat.  

Gold Coast are on offer at $3.50 with TAB Sportsbet (in from $7.50 on the eve of the new season) with Centrebet having the Skilled Park men at $3.

Current champions Melbourne are priced at $3.75 and $4.85 respectively.  

Bleiberg's men are also favourites for the minor premiership at $2.35.  Shane Smeltz's blistering start has also seen his price shorten for the Golden Boot with the striker now $2 (TAB Sportsbet) and $2.10 (Centrebet).

Sergio Van Dijk is second favourite for the award ($5 and $7) while Chris Greenacre's encouraging start to life at Wellington Phoenix now sees him on offer at $21 and $12.  The Phoenix striker had started the season priced at $67 with one bookmaker.

It is a rather different story for Gold Coast's fellow new boys North Queensland Fury. Ian Ferguson's men started the season at $15 for the toilet seat but now find themselves $67 (TAB Sportsbet) and $51 (Centrebet).  

Fury's price for the wooden spoon is rather shorter with Fergie's men $2 (TAB Sportsbet) and $1.83 (Centrebet).
