I would check how long the upgrade list usually is, as Silver you'd be at the bottom. Paying obviously puts you at the top. When I was flying Silver for years I was usually number 25 on the upgrade list at all times. But I was flying out of IAH always.
I would just say don't count on being upgraded as silver ever, you'll be disappointed!
