How to handle guests that don't respond within 24 hours to an initial booking request

Hi there, I’m curious about your comment about blocking the calendar. When I get a booking request, when I accept or decline, it asks me if I want to block the calendar for the guest and I always say no. Maybe it’s because I have instant book on? I’ve definitely had other people swoop in and book during the 24 hr period. That’s a risk someone takes by not booking right away once I approve.
