This. Edging your bets is only the situation when using your free firm tickets (if you have any) as you need to decide your best bet on getting confirmed and in your cabin of eligibility. For the Bog standard standbys just book as late as possible.

3 days before you can see the actual booked loads on the dashboard and also you can see the Standby list and where you sit on it
