Self Loathing Freight

Hello all,
I have a question as to how the airlines allocate FF tickets. I am a United flier with a few miles to use for tickets. The last three attempts to redeem miles have ended with frustration as United did not have seats available. I am a reasonable vacation planner so these were not last minute attempts. Granted, the destinations were popular.
Last night I tried to use miles for August travel and again was met with no options. I quizzed the reservationist who said that the number of FF seats varies based on the number of tickets sold and is constantly in flux. Can anyone shed some light on the algorithm used to determine the number of FF seats available?
