If it's not oversold, those 4 biz seats will be occupied by upgraded economy pax, thereby freeing up 4 seats in economy for gentlemen (and ladies) on standby such as yourself.

And look at the seat map and standby lists to get a better understanding.

Coach has 2 standby pax, business has 3 upgrade standby pax, first has 1 upgrade standby pax.

"Same day" would mean the 24-hour day that includes your flight. If your flight is 6PM, it would mean the window is from midnight of the night before (18 hours before your flight), until midnight after (6 hours after your flight).

"24 hours" would mean the window is from 6PM the day before your flight, until 6PM the day after the flight.
