Well B747-437B, i must say that either you are outright darn lucky or have a way with op-ups. I only take EK501 out of BOM, and of the 30 odd times I would have flown out of BOM, I have got upgraded no more than 2-3 times at most. I did have a success rate of > 50% on the DXB-BOM leg on EK500 though. So do you get an upgrade at Checkin or during boarding?
