Same way as we cannot 100% predict the financial market, flipping in gambling will be difficult. I'm not trying to say it's not possible that's because some gamblers can make such amount in few rounds but the risk is going to be much. They won't be targeting very low and have to risk too much so they can meet up such target. It's just better to stick to what you know gambling for and that's as a means of having fun. Yea the idea might be fun but $1k is a huge amount and you may not be willing to loss it in such fun.. again we shouldn't think of gambling as a means of making money.
But many players come to gambling for the sake of earning money, they certainly do not consider gambling as entertainment. On the other hand, few people set a goal to increase 1k to 10k, it is difficult and even doubling your bankroll (if it is large enough) will be a good achievement in gambling. After a series of losses, many come to the conclusion that it is better to leave gambling for entertainment, because it is difficult to earn money here and if you set big goals and play for big money, you can lose a lot...
