Exactly. The OP's version can be described as these choices:

- A 10% chance of losing (you don't get any money).

- A 10% chance of winning (you don't lose any money).

These two are options are in no way equivalent. In your version, you have:

- 10% chance of losing (you don't get $1,000).

- 10% chance of losing (you have to pay $1,000).

These situations are comparable and can be used to test the framing effect.
