Thoughts on flying standby?

I have a 9:25pm flight from DEN-SJC and I'd really like to be on the 8:30am flight.

Kayak says there are 9+ seats available from Frontier.com and Orbitz. Frontier says they are sold out.

What are the odds I get on? (I don't want to spend all day at the airport if I can't get on.)

Also, is there anyway to avoid the $150 fee?

Thanks!

P.S. I have 1K status on United if that helps in any way whatsoever. I'd trade a SWU for a seat on an 8:30 am flight DEN-SJC.
