chances of being offered online paid upgrade?

Hi -

What are my chances of being offered an online paid upgrade from Economy to Business?

Am flying JFK-DXB-SIN on 8 Sept 2014 (depart next Monday) on Economy Flex fare

Per ExpertFlyer, 19 seats remain open in Business for leg 1 (EK202, A380), and 7 seats open in Business for leg 2 (EK352, B773)

Economy is very, very open for both flights (how can they fly planes so empty?)

Two weeks ago, at T-4 days, was offered $1000US to upgrade to Business JFK-DXB on a Economy >Saver< fare (took it ... assigned 7A (A380) ... slept 8 hours without interruption ... heavenly!)

Thanks in advance for your comments -
