So, only buy it at the last minute when you are sure about your trip. Be aware that EBCI positions are allocated based on date of purchase. Meaning that buying it "last minute" is a Very Bad Idea, since you'll be given a position not much better than those checking at t-24. Yes, EBCI is not refundable if you cancel. A work-around is to not cancel, but instead "change" to any other flight that's the same or lower cost at some distant point in the future. Then, when you're ready to book the flight you'll actually take, change the "dummy" booking to the real one. Your EBCI position will be based on the date that you've changed to / booked the new flight.
