What is best way to get on standby for a free upgrade to business class (since their isnt an international upgrade list)?

I asked this question once a long time ago to a CO gate agent in EWR. He told me "You would have a better chance being struck by lightening twice and being the single winner in a $300 million lottery." I got a chuckle out of that because even though I didn't like what he was saying, it was fairly accurate.
