I'm looking for anime where the main character is a swindler, but not the evil kind of swindler... so he just reveal the antagonist's method to cheat or something similar like that.

the only anime i've watched so far that fits the criteria is One Outs (about cheating in professional baseball)

is there more anime like this? thanks.
*any form of cheating and genre is fine!

kaiji is probably what you are looking for (mc gets forced to participate in underground gambling sometimes he becomes really clever and some arcs were great) has 2 seasons

who try to make miracles happen. - Ef a tale of melodies.

You might interested to check out Kaiji or Akagi if you want to see anime about gamble, or 'mind war'. Although the main characters probably don't fit with your criteria.

If anime about swindler, I highly recommended Kurosagi.

But it's not your typical manga, the main character cheat the other swindlers as a payback / revenge.
I don't know if this really fit with your criteria, but I personally love this manga.

Also, you may want to check Liar Game (manga).
