I have a default line in my .bashrc file that says 

export HISTCONTROL=ignoredups

after reading the man page for bash(1), I understand this means
duplications won't happen.  I get dups.

====================================

Personally, I prefer to suppress the bash history.  I put this in .bashrc:

export HISTFILESIZE=0
