OLCI the night before

Has anyone had any luck getting standby options checking in the day before using OLCI?

For example, i am traveling this week on friday afternoon LGA-ORD on a 4 pm flight. Is there any way OLCI will give me standby options for thurs night if i go online at 5pm thurs (within the 24 hr window) and try to get a 7 or 8 pm flight on thurs i can get confrimed for the 25?

Not sure if i need to go back thurs night or fri morn, but it would make for a nice option.
