If God knows all truth, then there is not any "chance".
Let me explain.
Suppose I am going to make a choice, either "A" or "B".
Suppose you say I chose "A". Is that a true statement? It is if I chose "A". If I chose "B", then it is not a true statement.
Let's say I chose "A". Then the statement that I chose "A" is a true statement.
But God knows ALL TRUTH! And so, God knows which choice I made, even though it is a free choice.
Abraham chose to sacrifice his son. That it a truth and God knew it because it is His nature to know ALL TRUTH.
It has nothing to do with seeing into the future or taking chances. Do you understand now?
This may sound a little contrived to you, and yet, it is no more contrived than saying that God chose certain people to be saved and others to be condemned, but yet He holds them accountable because they still "choose" whether to believe or not.
